Short answer:  Yes.  :-)

Long answer:

What if more than one member of the group met the selection criteria?  What
if none of them did, but the record was selected because of some other "OR"
part of the selection set?

However, if you are also sorting on that group, then the selection will be
based solely on the individual members of the group as they are entered
into the sort, and @AF will point to that particular member.  (Of course,
the above two scenarios come into play as well.)
