No the two little holes fix the bracket to the cabinet sides with

Ah sounds like an Ikea cost cutting excercise... The in box assembly
for the units I have used just has a couple of 1" or so No.8's holding
it to the box side, it fits snug to the top though. An arm sticks out
through the rear of the box. The end of the arm has two pronged
downward facing hook that latches onto the top of the wall bracket
made from 3mm plate steel with a double bend at the top for the hook
ot rest on. This plate has three fixings into the substrate.

You could hook that arm onto the head of screw but you'd have to get
the screw in *exactly* the right place left/right. With the
adjustments available on the in box assembly (up/down, forward/back)
and the abilty to slide the whole unit left/right on the plates you
don't have to be that accurate with the fixings.
