Indeed, but the configuration file is already available at this point. It may be either a full .config, or a minimal defconfig, but in both cases it doesn't matter.

It does, as explained in the commit log: since LZO is not the default compression, if it is chosen by the user in its kernel configuration, it will also appear in minimal defconfigs.
