Not always. What it cares about is which port you told it to boot off of. 
On the system I have at home, that is the same drive until I add another 
drive at boot time.  (Including usb thumb drives left mounted.) It will 
then reorder the drives in some predetermined sequence not of my choosing 
and pick one of those as the new boot drive.

It should be something you set and forget. It does not always work that 
way.
