Yes and it does it. As the same as if you use low-level "dmsetup remove".

Anyway, you can try it:
I tested it with the AES key finder (cold boot utilities)
on memory image from suspended virtual machine
(plus you need to find dmcrypt crypt structure with plain key).
After luksClose and luksSuspend all previously visible keys in RAM
must disappear.
