Obviously : yes !-)

 >>> isinstance(0, bool)
False
 >>> isinstance(1, bool)
False

But anyway, I don't get the point, since "the bools need to be written 
as 0 or 1 to the config with WriteInt, the integers also with WriteInt". 
So you just don't care if it's a bool or not ? Or did I miss something ?
