No, fileconflict checks whether we will remove that file or not *in the transaction*, so it only considers transaction packages only, not all local packages. And see src/pacman/query.c/query_fileowner(). Briefly, the problem is that symlinks can mess things up, so we have to call realpath on localpkg->files, which is slow. However, Xavier had a clever patch which reduced realpath usage by checking basenames first, it might have made query_fileowner() much faster, I dunno.
