That article doesn't support your conclusion. Did you draw that conclusion because the file is named "image1" in both the OP's article and that one?

According to one of the answer, it is an image to fill used by Excel. So its goal is the same, even if the picture is different.

The image1.png file included by Excel is definitely an image that the author used in the spreadsheet, not a piece of cruft. Since he provides a copy of the xslx file, it's trivial to check:
