Yes, when you login on X, it will send a command out to the other ircu servers to set your username on your nick in the internal users database. Ircu would then use this to create your hidden host. It also means that if X splits or is restarted, you won't have to login again, because X will see you're already logged in from before. (Hopefully that makes sense... :)
