Yes, that's the purpose of that function: just replacing the raw sample data 
with new sample data without touching the instruments at all. So this feature 
is merely intended to fix issues with samples.

Note however that this also means that it won't even touch the loop parameters 
by default stored in the instruments, nor the sample playback start positions, 
nor the sample's root note stored in the instruments.

The samples' major parameters like loop points, root note (a.k.a. unity note), 
fine tuning are stored in the gig format on 2 levels:

1. directly on the samples: You can see them as kind of default parameters for 
the sample which are only used when assignign (or re-assigning) a sample to 
dimension regions of an instrument. So these parameters on sample level are 
never accessed directly by either LS or GSt at playback runtime.

2. on the individual dimension regions of the instruments: These are the 
actual parameters being accessed by the samplers at playback runtime. The 
purpose is that you may adjust the original sample's loop points, root note, 
fine tuning for instruments compared to its original parameters stored with the 
sample. Furthermore you may even adjust them for individual dimension regions, 
e.g. slightlty different playback start positions or slight different loop 
positions on round robin dimension, etc.

Note that in the edit menu of gigedit there are checkbox options whether the 
sample's original parameters shall be assigned to the dimension regions when 
assigning a sample to dimension regions by drag & drop.
