Short answer: yes (as far as I understand things).

The long answer is in the start of chapter 42 of the Exim documentation
(the ACL chapter). The start of the second text paragraph:

        The majority of ACLs are used to control Exim's behaviour when
        it receives certain SMTP commands. This applies both to incoming
        TCP/IP connections, and when a local process submits a message
        using SMTP by specifying the -bs option.


Some local mail agents submit email with -bs but I think that most do
not.

There are also some ACLs that specifically apply to non-SMTP email
(the acl_not_smtp* ACLs, see chapter 42 section 2 and section 3).
