No, it doens't do what you think it does.  Try this test:

   mkdir -p test/test.0
   echo "some data" |tee  test/test.0/1 test/test.0/2 test/test.0/3 
   
    ls -l test/test.0
   total 12
   -rw-r--r-- 2 reader users 10 Feb 23 08:13 1
   -rw-r--r-- 2 reader users 10 Feb 23 08:13 2
   -rw-r--r-- 2 reader users 10 Feb 23 08:13 3
   
    du -sh test
   12K     test
   
    cp -al test/test.0 test/test.1
   
    ls test
   test.0  test.1
   
    du -sh test
   12K     test

No increase in overall size has occured.
