No. I am not familiar with the DocBook stylesheets, but it looks like they
are just defining a base font to which variations can be applied within the
stylesheet. The TrueType Collections refers to a font file format in which
more than one logical TrueType typeface is stored in the same physical file.
In the previous part of your post (not copied here) it sounded like your
fonts were in .ttf format, which means that there is one logical font in
each file, and you don't need to worry about the .ttc stuff at all.

The DocBook stylesheet probably does this automatically. If it doesn't work
properly, look at the intermediate fo file or the stylesheet itself to see
what it is doing, and adjust accordingly (possible adjustments would be to
the stylesheet itself, or manual adjustments to the font metrics file
itself).
