Yes, exactly. You can release a plugin update this way and it mask the one 
bundled with Qgis release. If, some day, the user upgrades qgis and the 
version of the plugin bundled with master becomes higher that the one 
available in the repository, QGIS displays a message to encouage user to 
uninstall the update, that is now outdated.
