No, there will be regular expression dependencies as well.
regression=# create table t1 (f1 serial);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# select * from pg_depend where objid = 't1_f1_seq'::regclass or
refobjid = 't1_f1_seq'::regclass;

That 'a' dependency is the one that pg_get_serial_sequence() looks for,
but the default-to-sequence dependency will be there in any case.
regression=# create table t2(f2 int default nextval('t1_f1_seq'));
CREATE TABLE
regression=# select pg_describe_object(classid,objid,objsubid) as obj,
pg_describe_object(refclassid,refobjid,refobjsubid) as ref, deptype from
pg_depend where objid = 't1_f1_seq'::regclass or refobjid =
't1_f1_seq'::regclass;
obj | ref | deptype
--------------------------------+--------------------+---------
type t1_f1_seq | sequence t1_f1_seq | i
sequence t1_f1_seq | schema public | n
default for table t1 column f1 | sequence t1_f1_seq | n
sequence t1_f1_seq | table t1 column f1 | a
default for table t2 column f2 | sequence t1_f1_seq | n
