Yes, this guidance applies to the PSU-to-component connection (especially on modular PSUs), mainly because the pin configurations on the PSU aren't uniform. This means linking a cable from another PSU could damage components if incorrect voltages are applied to the wrong pins. I've likely seen cases where pin-outs changed between identical PSUs, even if they were from the same brand or model but different revisions.
