Yes, those are updates that you have downloaded via WindowsUpdate.

And to add to Rick's response. When SP1 was installed, any previous
entries for updates that were included as part of SP1 were removed from
the Add or Remove Programs list automatically. So another option is to
wait for SP2, which will include most if not all of the updates that
you have, at which time I would assume the included fixes would also be
removed from the Add or Remove list.
