Yes. Once the new code is on the file system it will be read in and  
used.

I believe the "QuickInstaller" does nothing more than execute  
external methods that have special "well-known" names which then  
trigger whatever Plone magic needs to be triggered to complete the  
upgrade. The "QuickInstaller" is a special Plone-only item, normal  
Zope product installation does not use it.
