No.  The text says:

     If CUSTOMIZATIONS is non-‘nil’, it should consist of alternating
     ‘defcustom’ keywords (typically ‘:group’ and ‘:version’) and values
     to add to the declaration of ‘COMMAND-alternatives’.

So CUSTOMIZATIONS is for adding keyword/value pairs we usually use in
a defcustom (since this macro creates a defcustom).
