intToBytes is really just a "cast" to bytes, allowing you to store the actual binary value of the integer. It would be in increasing numerical order.
This is an example of the oddity that is Java... Great move by using big-endian in the virtual machine, but if you want to actually access the binary the JVM is using for an integer you have to write your own function that uses bitwise operations to extract the value into a byte[]. Anyways, the answer is Yes.
