Eh, sort of. They're basically shipping the Rust equivalent of C header files and import libraries. Whereas before they would parse metadata in a build script which would then generate the Rust code on the fly (which was hell for a number of reasons). And the installed Windows SDK was used for the import libraries.

Apparently since last November they decided to replace it with another approach, so my information is outdated.
