Yes, you can do this assembly without any thought about waxmoths.  They only
 get into finished honeycomb, and that only if it has pollen or bee cocoons in
 it.  Your frames will be perfectly safe, unless you let them stand through
the
winter.  In that case, any jarring will cause the foundation to shatter.  Oh,
yes,
the other extreme is to store them in a hot shed in the middle of summer.  The
foundation, if not wired,  could sag and drop off.
