This is a great and OFTEN raised question
@GoKats78 .
The short answer is,....
No, it need not be listed on the IATF website.*
Here is the logic...
1- Yes, to be a CSR (according to the definitions listed WHITHIN iatf 16949:2016, it must be linked to a specific clause.
2- Honda is not an IATF member.
3- Regardless and 'contrary' to all I just stated above, if you are an IATF 16949:2016 certified organization....
"... shall include all direct customers of the certified organization, which may include IATF OEMs, non-IATF OEMs, and other automotive customers (i.e. tier-1, tier-2, etc.)."
While I do not agree with (it is illogical ) how IATF approaches this (i.e. IATF requirements for NON- iatf member OEM) and contrary to IATF's claim that all CSR 'must be linked to clause...", the expectation is none-the-less as I just stated.
"... shall include all direct customers of the certified organization, which may include IATF OEMs, non-IATF OEMs, and other automotive customers (i.e. tier-1, tier-2, etc.)." is an excerpt from the most recent IATF FAQ....item #8. Here is a link...

*In other words, the IATF standard and the expectations contradict one another. (how/why IATF group imposes a 'requirement' that is NOT in the standard and adds a 'shall' to and audits to FQA is unconscionable) . Sad but true.
Hope this helps.
Be well.
