I am sure you are correct on this.

I have a question about the manual, however, if you don't mind. The GWX 1.02 manual mentions that they do "something" (perhaps not actually spawn) in the game. Is this an error? Or perhaps a feature that was intended but either abandoned or postponed to a later release? Or is it that they do not "Spawn" as such, but their search capabilities are represented abstractly?

Some of the places where the manual mentions it are:
Page 172 The Town-class light cruiser in GWX
"GWX models each of these ships to carry a Walrus search aircraft, which has a random chance to observe and report your presence. The aircraft is always considered to be “out searching for you” whenever you actually see a ship of this class in the game."

Page 241 The Supermarine “Walrus” observation/scout plane in GWX
"The Supermarine Walrus conducts air patrols from large British air bases and from British capital ships."

Page 249 The Vought OS2U-3 “Kingfisher” observation/scout plane in GWX
"The Vought OS2U-3 “Kingfisher” floatplane flies from U.S. bases, battleships, and cruisers in GWX."
