Interesting that they would have rocks from the Alabama Hills since the Alabama Hills are actually several hundred miles north of Los Angeles. Possibly it's due to the fact that many Hollywood films including old westerns have been filmed in the Alabama Hills.
Don't really know why the city of LA donated the rocks, but your explanation may be correct taking into account the other items in the plaza.
