That appears to be the case. Here's a quote from a Mixonline article that I found.

Is that the “Bellagio House” mentioned in the
credits?
Yes. I was basically done with a solo album [a couple of years ago]
and I took it over to Warner [Bros.] and they were kind of in a period
of transition where pretty much the whole regime was going to be
leaving because they’d been bought by AOL. So it was not a good time to
be thinking about putting out the album. So I said, “Mick, why
don’t we rent a house and see if we can record some of Stevie’s songs,
and either this will morph into a bigger situation or it won’t. At
least we will have started some material for a possible [Fleetwood Mac]
album.” So we found this nice house up in Bel Air and set up shop
in the living room, and that’s what that photo is. It went really,
really well, so eventually I dropped the idea of doing my solo album
and a lot of it became part of a new Fleetwood Mac album. Stevie sent
over a bunch of songs — she was on the road at the time —
and we worked on those. A lot of what you see in the picture is my
gear. I have an old Neotek Elite console and a whole bunch of other
stuff I’ve had for years. Those songs were all cut on a Sony 48-track
reel-to-reel and that was it. It was a very low-key situation; I did a
lot of the engineering myself.

So John and Mick were already part of the solo album?
Yeah. There were a couple of stray bass parts that aren’t John’s, I
guess, but for all of the other things that got done later that didn’t
have them on it, we recut the tracks and then flew the parts in. So
it’s all John and Mick. So the stuff that was cut in that room
[Bellagio House] was basically Stevie.
