No, they decided to do it after principal photography had finished.

It's confusing, but basically they're presenting the making of each movie as it happened in each set of appendices. So even though AUJ and what was originally There and Back Again were shot together during principal photography, we weren't shown any of the TABA née TDOS behind the scenes material in the AUJ appendices.
So when we get to the TDOS appendices, we're back in 2011/2012 during the original shoot again. The pickups for films 2 and 3 were done over 10 weeks starting in May 2013, the relevant material of which is also shown in the latest appendices. AFAIK the majority of the reshot stuff for TDOS centred on expanding Kili and Tauriel's relationship and the addition of the 'lighting of the forge' sequence in Erebor.
