I would go one step further: does this imply "word processing document" to the average user and does it tell him how it will be handled when they double click on such a file? Only if they can associate it with MS Word, know what MS Word is, understand that it is a word processing package and that on Ubuntu word processing is done by OpenOffice Writer. So you rely on quite a few associations. I think the icon should convey two things: 1. it is a word processing document that will be handled by OO Writer 2. it is a different file format from a .odt file and for those who know and are interested in the difference, it is an MS Word file So what about something like a customized .odt icon that uses the MS Word blue colour scheme and has a superimposed W on top?
