For the most part, I guess. However to even have it in the simulator, the XN-Raiser must've been planned to be used in actual combat at some point. Just like the 00 Gundam Seven Sword: Amy Zimbalist fought it in a simulator, and we know that Celestial Being planned to create the Seven Sword system for the 00 before the 0-Raiser took priority. The XN-Raiser is likely a similar case.

I know Ascalon was in data form only as well and Robert Spacey modified it for much better performace,I had the impression that a physical prototype of these were built but thinking about it now..........most of them never left the drawing board did they?The thought never occured to me until now........ Cannot remember SAGA,but I think someone fought a physical version of that one,so maybe that's the only 4th Gen Variation that got a physical prototype?

Here's some further info related to the Neo-Hed,from MechaTalk:

Reading the 00P Chapters,I'm not so sure anymore,at least I'm on the fence.I don't think it was mentioned that they were ever made physically made,now that I think about it,as far as Ascalon and 7 Sword were concerned;both of them appeared in simulation and virtual realms only if I'm not mistaken.SEMs were in the process of being built until production hit troubled times [Not to mention,Tiera chose not to use them like revealed in the latest 00V].I think SAGA may have appeared physically though,fighting one of the GN-X from 00V;taken from the GN-X's pilot perspective.

The Seven Sword equipment was mostly constructed for the 00 Gundam, yes. They came across a production problem with it, also: namely, the GN-Katars. The GN-Condenser material used to create the blade was imperfect at the time and wouldn't work properly, resulting in the blades melting themselves. Celestial Being eventually perfected it, however, and used it to create the GN-Sword III and GN-Sword Kai. Its likely all other bladed GN weapons will also use this material.
So yeah, of the four 4th Gen variations we've seen, only the SAGA was completed and used in combat. The 00 Seven Sword and Seravee 3G were in the process of being created, but were never completed.
