I don't know if there is a difference between reading recommendations for buddy reads versus individual recommendations.
In the case of individual recs, the answer is definitely "yes" - the reading preferences survey asks for genres you like and dislike, along with many other perferences and dislikes. The individual recs are generated from the responses to that survey, not from the TBR - as can be seen in that it will generate recs with a zero-length TBR and the recs will change if the survey responses are changed, with no change to the TBR.
The caveat is that the above applies to one's own recommendations, I don't know how the buddy read recommendation algorithm works
