Yes. The facility is mainly for the free play. (Also, it allows non-native compatible personnel like
Daniels to report. Also, less intuitively,
Phoenix.)
You can blame Decipher for the goofy design:
Seat of Starfleet originally seeded directly on the 24th century spaceline at
Espionage Mission. The Straight and Steady design team introduced the
22nd-Century San Francisco time location and moved Seat of Starfleet back to the past.
Imperial Palace simply followed suit because the precedent had been set that This Is How Starfleet Works.
Vulcans, notably, are not doing that, according to the Design Q&A.
EDIT: The Seat of Starfleet page should note the first errata, but doesn't currently. Does anyone know the date when that came out? Was it released simultaneously with Straight and Steady?
