No. Message-hooks only trigger when you *view* a message.

>If not, what is the right method to do it?

Use a macro that will tag each category in turn, and save them to the 
appropriate location:

macro index ,s '<tag-pattern>~h ?List-id Centos<enter>\
                 <tag-prefix><save-message>+centos<enter>\
                 <tag-pattern>~h ?List-id OpenOffice<enter>\
                 <tag-prefix><save-message>+openoffice<enter>\
                 <tag-pattern>~h ?List-id someotherlist<enter>\
                 <tag-prefix><save-message>+someotherlist'
