No, not assuming that at all,  as it really doesn't matter (for the
purpose of this discussion) where the volume correction happens - it is
still exactly the same correction no matter what causes it - replaygain
or a manual volume control change.

Yes, the digital volume control vs. UDB-controlled volume attenuation
after the DAC has implications for the intersample interpolation issue,
but doesn't affect the topic of this thread - "How replay gain Works".
Replay gain is simply a track-per-track instruction to adjust the
volume, it doesn't do anything magic beyond that.
