If "BLOBS" is removed or commented, pg_restore -L from that list should not create any large object into the destination database. As for the table that contain the "lo" column with the references to large objects, it can be kept or removed from the restore list, it's up to you, but it does not determine whether blobs are restored or not. If the table is kept, its "lo" column will have dangling references to non-existing large objects, but it's irrelevant for pg_restore, as it doesn't track those references. You can always update that column to NULL after the load, or ignore it, or drop it, whatever is more convenient.
