Yes if you want to easily add and manage BIM data or schedule the individual parts within the object. It can be done, but there is a limit to the number of Parameters in a GDL object.
This is a situation where you would use Hotlinks (or instancing if we had it).

When you say 'save bathroom as an object', do you mean as a GDL object or do you really mean as a hotlink module.
As a module, you will still be able to schedule the individual components.
As an object it will just be '1 x bathroom' - it won't have individual elements.
Unless you script the quantity of the elemnts into the object and save the values as parameters that you can then add to your schedule.
I would not consider doing this.

Not if you save it as a .gsm. As far as AC is concerned, once you save elements A + B + C as a gsm, they cease to be elements A, B and C and become a singular element, D.

This will not work is many cases as you cannot tabulate the results. ie. for two bathrooms it will read "2x Two Taps" rather than "4x Taps"
