The Neo Geo, ST-V and Tourvision are cartridge-based systems. Software lists are not for arcade systems that don’t have interchangeable software media in official MAME. You can see this for cost-reduced single-board games based on Neo Geo hardware that go in neopcb.cpp and don’t have corresponding software list entries. In official MAME, Robbbert is correct in saying that, “A software list is a list of cartridges or cassettes or floppy disks that connect to a system via that same real connection. So a cartridge goes into a cartridge slot that existed on a real system. A floppy disk goes into a floppy-disk-drive that exists on a real system. And so on.”
