Sort of..
The starter is moving with the rest of the engine so the hose won't actually rub against the starter becuase there is no differential movement between the hose and the starter.
So you don't actually need to hold the hose away from the starter.
But it is a good idea to solidly clamp the hose to the starter just to ease any rubbing due to vibration.
What i would do is get a piece of rubber hose cut down one side, silicone baffling or similar and place between the hose and starter.
Then I would use black nylon tywraps or similar to snug the hose tight to the starter.
As long as its nugged up tight the tywrap won't even mark the firesleeve.
