Being listed in an as-macro doesn't affect your use of the AS 
or use of it in any IRR. 

Many providers will list customers (for filter generation) without 
express consent. Some folks will lump peers in categories through
IRR data. There's certainly nothing amiss in using as-macros even
for non-neighbors in a number of cases, enumerting ASNs one will
[de]preference from a certain set of peers or will drop entirely 
for example.

Often such policies exist but aren't published. ;-)

Cheers!
