No, --target is used to specify the target arch, eg. --target=i386 or --target=i686. The %files sections are for creating subpackages. The first %files lists files that will be in the ruby package, the second are the files for the ruby-devel package. You'll see corresponding %package, and possibly %post, %pre, etc. section.
