   Answer: For users who generate their Makefile.am (like gnulib-tool), yes.
   For users who use constructs like
       pkgdata_DATA =
       if WINDOWS
       pkgdata_DATA += documentation.chm
       endif
       if MACOS
       pkgdata_DATA += bundle.nib
       endif

This looks like ordinary Automake conditionals to me so this usage is 
not dependent on if Makefile.am is generated by some other tool.
