Yes, if beg and end of the region are in each of those two lines.

becomes

: and some fixed line
:

becomes

: Some text
:
: #+begin_example
: contents
: #+end_example
:
: and some fixed line

The baseline is this:

- always consider regions made of whole lines

- when all lines are fixed-width in the region, C-c : converts them to
  regular text

- when zero or more (but not all) lines are fixed-width, converts all
  lines to fixed-width lines, ignoring lines that are already fixed-width

Does that make more sense?
