No. If you just download the app on the computer and copy them to the phone, it won't be installed from a repository. (Unless you setup your computer as a server hosting a repository, but that would be silly, and you would have to update the repository yourself.) Setup the repository on the phone, and get the apps via the application manager. It's a very elegant, safe way to install software. (As long as it's a trustworthy repository.)
