That page displays README.md, which says

        Flathub is the central place for building and hosting Flatpak builds.

and says nothing about Windows or Wine.

        https://flathub.org/home

says

        Welcome to Flathub, the home of hundreds of apps which can be easily installed on any Linux distribution. 
Browse the apps online, from your app center or the command line.

and its About page says

        Flathub aims to be the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows 
Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.

The Flatpak link goes to

        https://flatpak.org

which says

        Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux

and its GitHub page

        https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak

has a README.md that talks a lot about non-Windows things.

Your quote

        A collection of flatpak manifest for building Microsoft Windows
applications with Wine via flatpak

came from

        https://github.com/winepak/applications

which isn't Flathub or Flatpak, it's a project to package Windows applications to run on Linux with Wine as Flatpak 
packages.

So, no, Flatpak isn't for Windows applications, it's for applications packaged for Linux.  *Wine*pak is for using 
Flatpak to package up Windows applications to run with Wine on Linux.
