Yes.

Here you're using `install-data-local', which is different from
`install-data-hook'.

-local and -hook are different because -hook has a performance penalty
when using parallel make.  It forces a serialization.

Ordering here is no indication of when things will be run.  With a
parallel make it is indeterminate.
