Short answer: yes, pacman will ask you if you really want to remove
these packages so check the output before saying 'yes'.
BTW, you sill get 'Pacman: command not found' if you run it with capital 'P'.

Please search the forums and understand what 'pacman -Qtdq' does.
You might want to read the pacman manpage on how to change the install reason.
