No, as per my understanding, peer-hub represents a complete USB hub.
See the lock diagram in the below link.

Sorry for the poor grammar, I will update this in the next v5.

Here is the block diagram of the Genesys GL3523 hub.
[0] https://www.genesyslogic.com.tw/en/product_view.php?show=67 [Block Diagram]

It has two USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 controllers, so using peer-hub node
the onboard hub module will bring up this hub.

There are many examples that use similar properties hence it is generic.
