Yes; in a broader sense, the widget using an adjustment is both the view and the controller of the value. All a widget does is calling gtk_adjustment_set_value() with the value desired by the user — through direct manipulation of the UI element, or programmatically. The adjustment will then notify the widget of the change, and the widget will update itself to reflect it. This allows multiple widgets to store and manipulate the adjustment. The value itself is a property of the GtkAdjustment instance.
