No. Auto Resume doesn't actually do anything, as far as I can tell. Just re-opens the document.

In a supporting app it autosaves all state, which is quite a bit more than just "re-opening documents". The ideal Apple is working towards is making the running state of an application irrelevant. They'll probably never get there entirely, but we've seen that it can work in practice on iOS. The friction for quitting is certainly decreasing by leaps and bounds.
