That's an intentions of #build method, yes. It is meant to build an
object tree of a component, just as #viewMain do for a whole page.

Component can be namely built once only and then is "cached", or every
time a page with that component is shown, or when Ajax refresh request
comes. All three ways use the same #build method.
