No. If you attempt to geocode a coordinate, the API does a reverse
geocode. I think what you're getting is the centroid of the 93541
zipcode: the API finds an address for your coordinate ("California
93541, USA") and provides the location of that address (38.077285,
-118.952751).
If you want to do conversion, you need to write a routine to do that.
Don't consume geocoder resources. Especially since it doesn't do what
you want.
