Almost, there are exceptions like guix/build/syscalls.scm.

I don’t know well; in the case of cmake-build, I guess so. Note
however: The proper term is build-side code. Gexps are an example of
build-side code, but phases are older than gexps and are build-side code
too. guix/build-system/cmake.scm is older than gexps, but uses gexps
now.
