no. in the scaffolding app the index/download function calls response.download. However, it works only with the "original" naming scheme of web2py.
Given that you want "your own", you must save/alter the original filename in another field of the table, and then write YOUR function to retrieve the file (e.g. looking at the "altered/original" filename, not the one set by web2py) and call response.stream on that file. Look into http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06#More-on-uploads for dealing with store() and retrieve().
