Pretty much so, yes: I did some experiments from U-Boot:
I filled SRAM C with some pattern, then read this back. Then flipped bit
16, read again: same result. Then wrote something again and read it
back: no change. In fact no bits at 0x3000000 had any effect on SRAM
accessibility, only clearing bit 24 in 0x3000004 made the whole SRAM C
(0x28000-0x47fff) go read-as-zero/write-ignore, from the CPU side.

I then triggered the THS device, to do temperature readings, but
this didn't change a single byte in the SRAM regions, with or without
bit 16 set. It only changed the returned values, at 0x50704c0.

So yes, I am pretty certain there is no SRAM region that gets switched.
Even if we would want to claim there is: I wouldn't know which
address values to put into the SRAM DT node.

So I guess it's another example of: oh, we have this spare bit here. Or
it's some kind of chicken bit? I don't know, and I think the BSP code
we have seen didn't offer an explanation as well.

Cheers,
Andre
