Not exactly.

ss doesn't even call TIOCGWINSZ if output is a pipe.

Exact code is :

        screen_width = 80;
        if (isatty(STDOUT_FILENO)) {
                struct winsize w;

                if (ioctl(STDOUT_FILENO, TIOCGWINSZ, &w) != -1) {
                        if (w.ws_col > 0)
                                screen_width = w.ws_col;
                }
        }
