Yes, but don't forget that for indentation the content _after_ the
comment starter (including comment padding) is relevant in case
`LaTeX-syntactic-comments' is enabled.  You can see that typing <TAB>
at the start of a commented line will move point to the first
non-whitespace character after the comment starter.

That's because the indentation function skips the commented region
when it looks back and uses the first non-commented line for deciding
upon the indentation of the current line.
