Yes, if flies lay eggs in exposed rotting meat their larva will feed themselves until developed and then turn into new flies. If the rotting meat is not exposed the flies will not be able to lay eggs and there will be no emerging flies.

In a way- it attracts them and they lay eggs in it and then the larvae (maggots) feed on it that eventually pupate becoming more flies. If flies have access to it to lay eggs, it will produce more.
