Well, yes, but just sharing "guix build --sources=transitive ..." is more convenient than having to include a copy of Guix as well. And for people unpacking the result of "guix build --source ..." + "guix shell -D ...", having the bugfixes (where possible) included in there is convenient.
So yes, not strictly required, but I do consider including the fixes in the 'source' field (where possible) to be more practical.
Greetings, Maxime.
