Yes—this is based on AutoMod configurations, and it looks for rule_action IN ('remove', 'spam', 'mark_spam', 'filter').It highlights to the user general settings like karma and account age requirements, and whether the user has a verified email, without diving into specific details. It then suggest steps a redditor could take in order to meet the criteria to successfully post in a community.

In rarepuppers, we have some filters that are intended as both spam / abuse prevention and quality assurance. For the spam / abuse prevention, all of the text that we show to users says that there is one (easy) requirement for being able to post, intended to let humans pass. But actually, we relax the requirement in a second case that's intended to be hidden from users because we don't want botmakers to know the way around our filter.

It sounds like at the very least, this will expose the second category that we use as criteria. That's not great for us, as we've been happy with this filter setup for a long time, and either have to change it or accept that at some point in the future, there will be a lot more people getting through it.
