To some extent.  There is no necessary relationship between the notion 
of "current working directory" and `*default-pathname-defaults*`, 
although making them correspond is common in modern implementations.

At the time that the ANSI CL standard was written, there were still 
platforms (operating systems) to which "current working directory" did 
not apply.
