Right. I think there is some optimization for transactions that only
wrote temp-table data, but it could at most be skipping fsync of the
transaction commit record, not omitting generating it entirely.
Also, changes to the system catalogs are always WAL-logged; so creation
and deletion of a temp table cause some amount of WAL output, even if
manipulation of the table's contents does not.
