Joining late, but came to say: Yes - assembly plants absolutely have the ability to do paint repair and body work.
Normally there is a short paint repair line for "small"ish touch ups that can be done while the line is moving; there is also a stationary area for more major repairs.
Maybe it was more of a "make vs buy" decision in the case of this Cuda. Since there was metal fab/customization involved they decided to outsource it rather than do the repair in house.
My own Oshawa built Chevelle was hit and repaired in the assembly plant. We discovered bondo in the fender the first time we had them off for a repaint.
