Correct.

And this does not have anything to do with --allow-empty.  You can
"reset --soft HEAD^" immediately after committing a change and redo
it to get the same effect.  If you commit the same state with the
same history with the same message as the same person at the same
time, you will reliably get the same commit object.

And that is fundamental property called reproducibility.  There is
nothing to be alarmed by this exercise.
