Yeah, it's a play on words. As in Frase Hecha, a saying established over time until it becomes almost a cliche or at least a a common "saying" which can be used effectively in oratory.

He then goes on to play with the "hecha" ="made" bit showing that "fillers" such as Bueno, ya lo sabes o la cosa esta chunga are used a lot but don't have the oratorical power of a true frase hecha so he calls them, "pocas hechas stressing the "hecha".
