There is not such thing as an array with only the Custom Styles. In all
applications the idea is the following one (though Writer stores it a
differently than other):

All styles are stored in a common container. They have are methods on
their classes to determine if they are used, hidden, user defined, etc.

The "Style & Formatting" dialog access those containers using a iterator
on which we apply a Search Mask. This mask is a bit-OR combination of
flags and the one for Custom Styles is SFXSTYLEBIT_USERDEF. Note that
Writer defines some additional mask flags.

I hope this helps you understand that piece of code.
