No, there is not. Reread the line, it suggests using banged version of autocommand to remove it. **Banged**. Line you are suggesting to look at contains **no** *banged* version. It also contains more then just *.json in a list of patterns. It does *not* contain string "filetypedetect" because it is specified at the top of the file with :augroup.

Suggested method is undefining autocommand *after it was defined*. It though lacks information about where it should be put (most likely after :filetype ... on command), but it does not involve editing filetype.vim.
