No it's not. Read it again.

Well, I'll lend you a slap for not reading the script closely enough.

There are statements in there which tell you what redo logs ought to exist (as well as what datafiles exist), but that's merely a question of setting the *pointers* to those files in the about-to-be-created control file. Nothing to do with re-creating those files at all.

Unless you have a magic trace file that I've never seen before. The command is to 'backup controlfile to trace' not 'backup the controlfile and re-create anything I may happen to need while you're at it'.
