Basically yes. As this is run in the %build or %install section you would need to modify your spec generator to not output these.
Note that this is not the only possible use. I just did a POC for find_lang.sh to generate language sub packages. This is surprisingly simple and can easily be done in bash.

Long term this may also be used to generate the debuginfo sub packages. But as they are more closely coupled to the rpmbuild internals there are some more pieces needed to make this feasible.
