The short answer is "yes". The slightly longer answer is that the first preceding (working backwards from the closepath) "m", "M", "z", "Z" command determines the start point of the current sub-path. Absolute moveto, as in your example, is the easiest case to determine the starting point. The other cases can be tricky, especially if they are preceded by relative path commands.
