Yes.  It's implied in the markup command documentation, though it
could be more explicit.

The named sizing commands set absolute font-size (and nothing else),
whereas \fontsize adds an increment to the current font-size, scaling
baseline-skip to match.

It might make sense to redefine the named commands in terms of
\abs-fontsize, since that'll ensure baseline-skip is changed while
retaining the absolute font-size.
