I'd assume as much for the Nature, though I think the Subplot could range far wider than that.

For the work of "a few hours," I believe that you could get the basic Natures, Strengths, Weaknesses, and Subplots up, along with enough other prep to get the game off the ground. But you aren't going to code in every song. Every artifact. Every important NPC.
In addition to that, if you go to the Start A New Game page, you'll see that there are many other sections that haven't even been enabled yet -- Premises, Characters, etc.
Just turning the stuff from the core book into cards is the work of days, not hours. Having someone do all of that work for you means you'll be able to get a Storium In Nomine (heh, "SIN") game up and running in the time it takes you to write up the story description, and once running the game, it means that anything "canonical" that you'll ever need will be one click away, as opposed to "several minutes of me looking up the details in the book and then writing up a card." And I don't know if you've narrated a Storium game yet, but speaking as someone who is, those "several minutes" add up.
