I believe that's correct.
However the server items at ~/Library/Favorites/ are also plists, though
they lack the ".plist" extension. Below is an example file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://webdav.domain.ext</string>
</dict>
</plist>
You should be able to create these files with plistbuddy. If you use $4 in
place of your string, you can have one script that can create any favorite
server.

That should be easy to set up... All of those "favorites" for servers are just location files. You'll find them in the user folder/favorites. You should be able to wrap that up and distribute. The only issue I can see you running into is needing to distribute into the user folder, but ticking off the Fill Existing Users and Fill User Template boxes on the package should solve that...

No surprise here... I recommend scripting it.
If you deploy a plist file, you force every setting in your plist and
effectively delete any other setting already stored in that plist.
If you use `defaults` or `plistbuddy` to modify
/Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
then you can selectively modify the values you want to manage without
interfering with any other values in that plist.

Isn't that just going to modify the "recent items" list in the apple menu? It sounded like he wanted to put the favorites in Go -> connect to server
