Call and ask what the potential employer is looking for too before spending any money either way.
It's relevant because the employer is asking for it.
It may be relevant because the insurance company wants to see it.
It may be relevant because the company has a government contract or requires OAS/OAM carding, which specifies "typical terrain" (eg, mountain flying), etc.
There could be a lot of reasons, such as the company flies around mountainous terrain.
If the company wants cross country time, they can specify cross country time.
If they've specified mountain time, then that's what they want. That makes it very relevant.
