Yes, that's what
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:AdminSettings.php#Merging_with_LocalSettings.php
says.

OK, in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Ultimate_minimalist_solution
I added: There is no generic example possible. Detecting what wiki the
current web request or maintenance script is for all depends on how you
have your filesystem configured. We can only give real life examples...

Even my previous version
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Wiki_family&oldid=252351#Ultimate_minimalist_solution
would backfire if one does
$ cd ~/aaa/maintenance; php ~/bbb/maintenance/bla.php
