That's correct; however, in general zsh completers ought to be installed to share/zsh/site-functions/ so that they are automatically picked up. In this case since the 3rd party completer is not as good as the one provided by zsh, it would be a net negative to install it to the correct place. I don't see any value in installing the zsh completer as it is unlikely to ever be used.
