Yes, at least for the basic zero-inflation curve. For bootstrapped
curves, it's used to recalculate the market rates, though---obviously
for the year-on-year, but unfortunately also the zero, since the
implementation of the boostrap helper solves for the inflation-swap NPV,
and thus discounts the two payments.  In those cases, the discount curve
might have been stored in the helpers instead, and the inflation curve
would just have stored its own reference date; that's what the
default-probability curves do.
