I can see why you get that impression from the doc string of
pop-up-frame-alist. The second line is confusing - both in that the
mentioned buffers are not pop-up-frames by default, and that if
pop-up-frames is enabled, then there is no difference between the
mentioned buffers and any other buffer that displays in a pop-up frame.

The doc string should just say that pop-up-frame-alist applies to
pop-up-frames, which should also be obvious from the name. Trying to
explain pop-up-frames there (which I assume is what the intention of the
second line is) just confuses things.
