Correct.

os.startfile uses ShellExecute (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762153.aspx), which is the same API that the shell uses for the 'start' command. So by using os.startfile we get the same behaviour, but we're calling in after the terminal would have done its own parsing (for piping/redirection/etc.).
