It doesn't "necessarily" represent your transmitted signal, but in your case, it seems that it is, or at least very close.  Likewise for me.  There are amplifier stages following the IF which can [and often do] introduce distortion which won't show up if monitoring the IF frequency.

leakage of your signal at the IF, I see it with my SDR that is tied to the P3 IF out and 
it looks exactly like the signal I see on a spectrum analyzer using a coupler.
