What? No it doesn't. You have missed the key word in the sentence above: 
"standard". The idea is that the docs will describe the *standard* 
modules, i.e. those that ship with the PostgreSQL core distribution 
(because they are currently in contrib).

If you want to design a pluggable documentation system then go for it, 
but it's not required by what I understand is the consensus plan for 
contrib.
