Yes.  And to be more specific - vacuum cannot see tables that have been
created in a transaction, so you should always analyze tables that you
intend to read in the same transaction where you created them.

Even if you do commit before reading there is a race condition with
vacuum, so it's best to analyze.

Bonus tip: the same is true for any temp tables you might create.  More
so, since vacuum will never see them at all.
