not necessarily.

On OSX, I understand the way the Finder (or PowerMail) will open a
document is, something like the following:

a) if this document has been, individually, associated to a given
application (the "get info / open with" procedure above, without "change
all"), run this app

b) or else, if the document contains an OS9 (or earlier) tag named
"creator", then run the associated app

c) or else, use the app preassociated to this document's extension (if
it has any)

d) or else, run the app associated to the document's OS9 TYPE tag.

In your case, it looks like your html document wears a "creator" tag
associated to IE, which intercepts the decision process before its
name's extension has a chance to trigger Safari.

One way to check this is to look at your document with XRay, a little
utility that will allow which ones of the above fields are
significant...

The best way is to remove IE from your HD, like me :-)
