Not necessarily. On changeset lists which does display the changeset
comment, you only see the bbox coordinates and people have a poor grasp of
which coordinates correspond to which location. You have to click on to the
changeset page itself to see the map of the bbox (which is inconvenient if
you want to check out several changesets), and the location is still not
obvious if the bbox is zoomed in and you're not familiar with the area.

So, it's not glaringly obvious. You have to do a bit of work to determine
where the changeset is located.
