Definitely. It was a free option (iirc) when the 4M Q7 debut. Along with a "free" jack. Then they changed it to a $40 option. Not sure who would not do it for $40. None of the RS4, E46 M3, and E39 M5 neither had a spare and did not have RFT. i purchased a front wheel for both and had a spare in the garage and packed it for road trips. Thankfully never had to use it but what a hassle.
