No, the collation is used both for sorting and for equality check. However, ICU 
doesn't actually treat 'ä' as equal to 'ae'. You can see for yourself here:

http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?_=de_DE&d_=en&x=col&collation=phonebook

Try sorting

ae
áe
ä

You'll see they actually get sorted in that order. 'ä' and 'ae' can't possibly 
be considered equal when there exist strings that sort between them.
