Yes.  This is because your login process gets its identity from the
system config when you log in (when the process gets created).  Even
though you change the config file to update your identity, all running
processes have the identity they had when they were created.  When you
log out and back in, the new processes have the new identity.

A similar situation can require a reboot.
