Simon,
Yes but only when running an installer. Otherwise the recovery partition is hidden.

Under the usb installer disk util you can see the partition,

  If you eraise or partition the drive from the drive level then you will wipe 
it.

  Not something someone should do unless they know what they are doing.
It makes getting to the recovery difficult.

     Don't know how one loses a recovery partition but since its a hidden one, executing 
the "diskutil list" command in terminal will display a list of volumes, 
including the recovery partition if it exists.

Hi,

It's usually difficult to erase that partition, but not impossible.  The only 
way to regain the Recovery partition is to reinstall the MacOS.

Later...
