It would seem so: org-agenda-follow-indirect is used in a single place:

,----
| (defun org-agenda-do-context-action ()
|   "Show outline path and, maybe, follow mode window."
|   (let ((m (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker)))
|     (when (and (markerp m) (marker-buffer m))
|       (and org-agenda-follow-mode
|          (if org-agenda-follow-indirect
|              (org-agenda-tree-to-indirect-buffer nil)
|            (org-agenda-show)))
|       (and org-agenda-show-outline-path
|          (org-with-point-at m (org-display-outline-path t))))))
`----

If it is not nil, org-agenda-tree-to-indirect-buffer is called, so this
case falls under the spell of org-indirect-buffer-display.
