Yes, because you're just buying the actual stator in that case, not the whole alternator, which would also include the rotating magnet assembly.

From https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stator

stator
[ stey-ter ]
noun
Electricity, Machinery. a portion of a machine that remains fixed with respect to rotating parts, especially the collection of stationary parts in the magnetic circuits of a machine.Compare rotor (def. 1).
