I don't think this is true in general, a texinfo file could @include a file that is built during the build phase. (For example, I generate Texinfo code documenting the library based on comments in the source files, and some source files may be generated, as in foo.h.in -> foo.h to add version information to a header file. Compare http://josefsson.org/gdoc/.)
