Yes, they would.
What you are seeing is preparation for the future. If you choose yes, the files will merely be "unzipped" and saved as MP3+G inside the KMA file. The problem with zip files is the multitude of formats and the time it takes to unzip them every time you play them. In future versions of Hoster we will see cross-fading, tempo change, and other "goodies" that are complicated by the zip format. Go ahead and choose yes, it will not hurt your files. From this point on, when you import, the files will automatically be unzipped as you import.
