Just tried it, and that seems to be the case:
postgres=# create database test;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c test
You are now connected to database "test".
test=# create table t(f1 integer);
CREATE TABLE
test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# insert into t values(1);
INSERT 0 1
test=# insert into t values(2);
INSERT 0 1
test=# \q
rod@teladesign:~$ psql -U postgres test
Password for user postgres:
