No. As the export process captures the content which is part of the site.

I remember reading somewhere, that it is highly recommended that you
do!

Hi,

If you're using the stsadm command line you have an option to state
which versions of the files will be exported (same thing in the
import).

stsadm.exe -o export
-url <URL to be exported>
-filename <export file name>
[-overwrite]
[-includeusersecurity]
[-haltonwarning]
[-haltonfatalerror]
[-nologfile]
[-versions <1-4>
1 - Last major version for files and list items
(default)
2 - The current version, either the last major or the
last minor
3 - Last major and last minor version for files and
list items
4 - All versions for files and list items]
[-cabsize <integer from 1-1024 megabytes> (default: 25)]
[-nofilecompression]
[-quiet]

But basically, using the default behaviour, if you want your latest
changes to be in the export you should check-in before exporting,
since it grabs the last major (published) version.

Hope this helps,
Hugo
