Yes, I think so.  Here's the w32 implementation, for comparison:

	  if (f && !FRAME_ICONIFIED_P (f))
	    {
	      if (!hlinfo->mouse_face_hidden && FIXNUMP (Vmouse_highlight)
		  && !EQ (f->tab_bar_window, hlinfo->mouse_face_window)
		  && !EQ (f->tool_bar_window, hlinfo->mouse_face_window))
		{
		  clear_mouse_face (hlinfo);
		  hlinfo->mouse_face_hidden = true;
		}
