Yes, that's my understanding; likewise, if the user previously answered
yes but then removed the file manually, the dialog should say no.  See
also http://lintian.debian.org/tags/debconf-is-not-a-registry.html and
debconf-devel(7), which mentions this matter in the context of using
debconf outside maintainer scripts:

       You can also use debconf in other, standalone programs.  The  issue  to
       watch  out for here is that debconf is not intended to be, and must not
       be used as a registry. This is unix after all, and programs are config-
       ured  by  files in /etc, not by some nebulous debconf database (that is
       only a cache anyway and might get blown away). So think long  and  hard
       before using debconf in a standalone program.
