As I understand it, yes. That's what happens.

You don't need to do anything. If the images on disk are named correctly 
the substitution happens automatically.

Scott's question is why that doesn't happen with imported images too, 
and I think that would be a good addition. Most of my stacks use 
imported images to keep everything in a single file. The down side is 
that the stack would grow much larger because you'd have two copies of 
each image embedded.
