Eh, not quite. Private accounts can't have their photos used outside of Instagram.

>"except Content not shared publicly ("private") will not be distributed outside the Instagram Services.

That doesn't mean they won't be used inside Instagram as ads, however.

There's little difference to me between public on the internet and public on Instagram. They both ignore my photo's original privacy controls (to share with a specific set of users).

Regardless, it looks like Instagram's response has said they will be respecting privacy controls (http://blog.instagram.com/post/38252135408/thank-you-and-wer...) although I'm not convinced until this is made clear in the TOS.
