She does for me if someone else isn't already using it like the doc or the armor guy.
Sanctuary is probably on her route, but not the others'. If you set up a Settlement IN Bunker Hill, I would think more traders would swing through there (but I don't know of any other than Carla).
I set up those trade stations at every settlement, and more or less every* merchant eventually shows up. I've even had two merchants visiting Sanctuary simultaneously (maybe three - maybe - take it with a grain of salt).
*That said, I've also had times when no merchant is visiting a given spot. And also, I've seldom seen a merchant visit Coastal Cottage, though I wonder if I need to place it in a more hospitable location (not on the uphill slope from the road).
I have one set up at Sanctuary, and I get all of the caravan traders there. Cricket, Doc Anderson, Lucas Miller, and Trashcan Carla. They all use it, but only one of them will use it at a time. Carla seems to still prefer her default spot in the road sometimes though. That could be due to her showing up when another trader is already there and using the caravan post though.
Mine at Sanctuary work for me. All the vendors show up and are at the assigned space. If you place it in a weird place that doesn't give them enough room, they might go to their default space like with Carla.
Scrapped one of the ruined houses in Sanctuary and made the foundation a central place where the travelling traders congregate. Unknown about Bunker Hill. Build area is to constrained to craft travelling trader stands.
Bunker Hill shouldn't need it - Stockton's merchants rotate through one of the shop areas near the back of the main building.
