I agree that that's what it looks like. What I don't know is if it works. I
got this example from the page
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Conferencing_and_Intercom. I never did
exactly what you're trying, and never tried using the API in this fashion.

><action application="set" data="member-list=${conference(${conf-id}
>list)}"/>
><action application="execute_extension" data="do-kick"/>

Even assuming that our understanding on the kick command is correct, and
there's an accessible API here, I don't believe the above would actually
populate your variable with the data that you want. I don't think it
actually issues the command with the "set" application. Instead, you'd need
to do something like

<action application="conference" data="${conf-id} list"/>

and then you'd have to capture the output somehow, which I also don't
believe is possible.

I'm hardly a master of XML, though, or of dialplans, so feel free to try it
if you want. Just make sure you're logging everything so you can watch it
all unfold.
