Yes, in fact the first deployment of these trains will be over the france-italy frontier (despite what this article says, I read the opposite in french news, and premiering a TGV on the Paris network makes no sense at all).
However the manufacturer might be expecting a significant business through the alps, given the base tunnels Switzerland has been digging.
That would make high-speed tunnel entry a larger concern than it’s historically been for the french market (most of the tall mountains are on the edges of france so high speed lines don’t have a surfeit of tunnels, probably unlike japan which is rather mountainous).
