Yes, but the difference is that motion controller takes the arc, defined by G2/G3 and splitts it in small linears and it knows, where exactly that arc will end and can prepare the motion accordingly. But it does not know, what kind of shape do those tiny g-code lines describe. IMHO it needs not only to look up hundreds of lines, but also some additional logics to make a decision, what is that a shape and how should it be treated.
