Yes. But don't confuse the fact that the identifiers are the same with whether the objects that the identifiers denote are the same. The different handling of exported and unexported identifiers particularly comes up with identifiers that denote struct fields or methods, particularly when deciding how to handle embedded types and promoted fields or methods.
