Jo,

No, currently the tileindex is only used to select the right files for
the area of interest.  It is still necessary that they have georeferencing
per-file in a form that mapserver (GDAL) can utilize and that does not
include the values from the tile index.

The obvious step is to write a script to produce world files for from the
shapefile.  There are some other more complicated options if having the
files without a world file is important to you.
