I thought so too, but I have found this as well (also mentioned in the
Emacs manual):
,----[ C-h f make-auto-save-file-name RET ]
| make-auto-save-file-name is a compiled Lisp function in `files'.
| (make-auto-save-file-name)
|
| Return file name to use for auto-saves of current buffer. Does not
| consider `auto-save-visited-file-name' as that variable is checked
| before calling this function. You can redefine this for
| customization. See also `auto-save-file-name-p'.
