No.  When using  --no-rerere-autoupdate, git does not add autoresolved
files to the index; it fixes them only in your working directory.
'ls-files -u' still lists them as unresolved.  'rerere remaining' does
not list these autoresolved files.  'mergetool' uses this command to
avoid asking the user to resolve files which git rerere already
resolved for her.

ac49f5ca8 has a pretty complete description, though it may be a bit
too wordy for the the up-front synopsis.
2f59c9470 has a more complete justification.
