No.  It's a very elaborate scheme in read_minibuf triggered by

  record_unwind_protect (restore_buffer, Fcurrent_buffer ());

  choose_minibuf_frame ();

  record_unwind_protect_void (choose_minibuf_frame);

  record_unwind_protect (restore_window_configuration,
			 Fcurrent_window_configuration (Qnil));

  /* If the minibuffer window is on a different frame, save that
     frame's configuration too.  */
  mini_frame = WINDOW_FRAME (XWINDOW (minibuf_window));
  if (!EQ (mini_frame, selected_frame))
    record_unwind_protect (restore_window_configuration,
			   Fcurrent_window_configuration (mini_frame));

so it may even save two window configurations.
