Yes, but the activation is only done when switching profiles, either
with --switch-generation or --auto-switch

tna-upgrade should not use --auto-switch. I think the right way is to
use tna-upgrade without it, then perform a warm (or is it cold?) start
of freerouter.  The ExecStopPost action of the systemd unit should
then check for the proper exit status and perform the "release-manager
--switch-generation". This also performs a systemd action from within
a running service, so I'm not entirely sure whether that works as
intended. I didn't try this out yet.

Another option would be to run the entire "--install-git
--auto-switch" command from the ExecStopPost script, i.e. not use
tna-upfrade at all.
