All very prudent ideas to make sure you don't program something you didn't want to.
And to answer the question...yes, I was told to remove the ability for power to reach any component, any electrical scenery device, anything you don't want programmed. So I guess that included an AC as well as DC devices and components. The only thing I had on my layout track was the diesel I needed reprogrammed. Everything else except the wiring going to the programming track - which had nothing on it - was disconnected or removed.
This is a feature I didn't know about until a day ago, but it is certainly one that you need to take precautions before utilizing.
