URL re-writing only alters the URL, not the other related HTTP headers.
This can cause problems and is avoidable in most situations.

In short: Squid uses only the headers to determine what to cache and rewriting the URLs won't help improving the hit rates?

For the old url_rewrite_* interface that is pretty much the case.

The storeur_rewrite_* interface does change the URL which determines whether two pages are cached/fetched from the same slot.

Just be aware it also makes the URL fetched possibly disagree with any URLs in the page body or Location: headers, cookies etc. which brings browser security features, XSS and forwarding loops into the picture of things to be careful of.
