Assuming the builtin policy has been replaced with a custom policy and
CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY is enabled, then yes the rule is appended.   If
a custom policy has not yet been loaded, loading this rule becomes the
defacto custom policy.

Even if a custom policy has been loaded, potentially additional
measurements unrelated to this test would be included the measurement
list.  One way of limiting a rule to a specific test is by loopback
mounting a file system and defining a policy rule based on the loopback
mount unique uuid.
