Yes, I think so, too. Especially since the the documentation also says that:

That's actually fairly well documented here: 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f31/install-guide/appendixes/Kickstart_Syntax_Reference/#sect-kickstart-commands-part


biosboot
    The partition will be used for a BIOS Boot partition. A 1 MB BIOS boot 
partition is necessary on BIOS-based systems using a GUID Partition Table 
(GPT); the boot loader will be installed into it. It is not necessary on UEFI 
systems


Just added a bit to the confusion since this clearly says, a biosboot partition 
is not necessary for UEFI systems (which I am using here) but then the 
documentation for the "location" parameter says, that's where stage 1.5 of the 
bootloader is going to be installed.
There also doesn't seem to be a stage 1.5 any more these days:

Thanks for your help though.

Cheers!
