yes, it does, in Map frame settings you can choose from different options
(fit frame to match selected map, selected region, current region, fixed
scale and map center). To do so, it sets different region. There is a hint
in the header of the created .psmap file, in your file it's the line:

# g.region rast=bvmeat_kg@CSIRO2005
