Correct, if you do PFS the official VTT policy is that GMs are allowed to share their content (NPCs, encounters, etc. already built) privately until that adventure arrives in the store for the VTT (FG Store for us), at which point the sharing becomes illegal.
So far I've been fine with not having the automation. Where I notice it is using the SRD to make a character because the character sheet has fields to accommodate the automation scripts, and those will be left blank because the SRD doesn't have the data to go in those new fields. It's no big deal, it just could make you think something is wrong, when it's really fine. I own the Paizo DLC so I can make my characters with all the official data and the scripts help out and make it all lovely. Hopefully more of the PFS GMs will follow suit someday.
