That page displays README.md, which says
Flathub is the central place for building and hosting Flatpak builds.
and says nothing about Windows or Wine.
https://flathub.org/home
says
Welcome to Flathub, the home of hundreds of apps which can be easily installed on any Linux distribution. Browse the apps online, from your app center or the command line.
and its About page says
Flathub aims to be the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.
The Flatpak link goes to
https://flatpak.org
which says
Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux
and its GitHub page
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak
has a README.md that talks a lot about non-Windows things.
Your quote
A collection of flatpak manifest for building Microsoft Windows
applications with Wine via flatpak
came from
https://github.com/winepak/applications
which isn't Flathub or Flatpak, it's a project to package Windows applications to run on Linux with Wine as Flatpak packages.
So, no, Flatpak isn't for Windows applications, it's for applications packaged for Linux. *Wine*pak is for using Flatpak to package up Windows applications to run with Wine on Linux.
