No. That is the hot start assist motor. Cruise diaphragm is on passenger (left) side firewall with a cable running to the carb or FI linkage.

That's the Hot-Start Assist.

The cruise control is on the passenger side towards the rear of the engine compartment, almost to the firewall.

It's not strictly necessary - you can do the same thing by just opening the throttle with your foot when restarting while the engine's hot. It was put there to prevent flooding by average drivers. A convenience rather than a necessity.
