Only when you are using the motoblur versions of those packages. Setting up a Google Account through the initial setup won't send the info to moto, setting up any account in your stock-homescreen for widgets will send your information to moto.

Not true. The article has been updated to clarify that this model does not use the MotoBlur interface. Apparently the code is still there, and still active.
