no it does not , it corresponds to the device tree:
cd /devices/pci at 0,0/pci10de,2fd at 3/pci1028,lec at 0
this is the physical path where the BIOS have enumerated the device
and the kernel has gotten this info from the Plug_and_Play part of the
PC BIOS. the device code is AFAIK not part of this string.
THis is what I have on one machine. which have the nvida gigabit ethernet
device.
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0a function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0057

# cd /dev
# ls -l nge0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jun 14 23:54 nge0 -> ../devices/pci at

# cd /devices/pci at 0,0/pci1297,5036 at a
# pwd
/devices/pci at 0,0/pci1297,5036 at a
and the tail end of /etc/path_to_inst looks like this
"/pci at 0,0/pci1297,5036 at 8/disk at 0,0" 4 "sd"
"/pci at 0,0/pci10de,5c at 9" 0 "pci_pci"

and the corresponding entry from prtconf -pv
observe that the hex "@a " entry in path_to_inst corresponds to node 10
decimal below

So create the symbolic link yourself.
