No, the obsolescence message only points to the other
variable/function/feature with which you can obtain similar results.
It's generally not a drop-in replacement.

I use `isearch-filter-visible' in my code.  Recently, you have made it
obsolete.  The `make-obsolete' sexp is not helpful/accurate, AFAICT.  It
says only that `isearch-filter-visible' is replaced by
`isearch-invisible':

(make-obsolete 'isearch-filter-visible 'isearch-invisible "24.4")

That is definitely not true.  For one thing, the former is a function
and the latter is a variable.

The proper replacement is given in the source code:

(or (eq search-invisible t)
    (not (isearch-range-invisible beg end)))

It is that information that needs to be conveyed in the obsolescence
message.
