Yes,

I even had an implementation with a logarythmic search back in v2 but
we had a discussion with Roman and he convinced me this is an overkill
and not currently required. It seems that with Qemu this is true indeed,
vp_index always matches vcpu is but in case some other userspace decides
to break this unwritten rule users may experience significant slowdown.
