Yes, that appears to be the case, even in conjunction with a punched ID. That said, the punched ID and the temporary ID should be sufficient to execute the alternate identification procedure.
It’s not always punched ID.
IME of doing this with TSA, it really varied based on where and with whom at TSA I ended up dealing when starting with presentation of the paper or home-printed temporary paper DL — temporary DL, as in DL to be used for driving in the interim period while awaiting for the mail to deliver a real DL card.
The OP may find that there is less issue at their “home” airport than at an “away” airport in another state, and also that what seems to fly better at one airport with one or two TSA travel document checkers may not fly the same way otherwise.
