Yes, I would expect that to be true (although I didn't use git_org.sh)

For example, I do not need any of the apps for this project. Is it

Yes.

Or, do I have to download the full tree, but then manipulate with the

No, you don't need to download the full tree, but the hard part is knowing
exactly what you  _do_ need to download if your only trying to build a
subset.

My approach (for _my_ subset) was to download everything, compile what I
(thought I) needed, then I had to compile missing stuff (that I didn't
realize I needed) because of dependencies, or to run my app only to find
out I left some parts (libraries) out.

In the end, I only really needed 17 pieces of the tree to get _my_
requirements met.
