Yes, to be clear:
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup just enable ports for spice / vnc connection from remote host to VM while performing OS install on the VM.
Once the VM is installed ovirt-engine configure iptables on the host using ovirt-host-deploy package when the host is added to the engine.
If you need other services on the host running the hosted engine you'll need to configure manually iptables.
