No; the grob names are defined in a file in Pygments
(pygments/lexers/_lilypond_builtins.py) that is autogenerated
from LilyPond, but not dynamically. It's updated from time to
time in Pygments and from time to time a new release of Pygments
is used in the doc build (I've been procrastinating for the update
to the latest release for a week, but now that I said it I'll
need to do it this evening :-).

I still have a project to implement a LilyPond option that would
print out a JSON (or whatever) of all grob/property/context/...
names, for use by Pygments, Frescobaldi and such, and this would
potentially allow dynamic generation in the doc build, but I never
had the time combined with motivation to finish it.
