More precisely stated, hot pixel values are replaced with high- probability, nearest-neighbor values to smooth the rendering. Not exactly "interpolated", per se. 'Hot pixel removal' is jargon for this process. I think otherwise you are oversimplifying what bayer demosaicing and gamma correction are if you say that all pixels in the resulting image are 'interpolated'. The values are certainly derived in many ways, but the interpolation process isn't what most people tend to think of as interpolation from high school trigonometry.
