For the most part, yes.
New League under 1.0.2, same salary curve as in post #7, inaugural draft:
$11,000: 24 players
$9,900: 13 players
$8,000: 5 players (all arbitration)
$7,500: 2 players (all arbitration)
$7,000: 1 player (arbitration)
$4,800: 33 players (all autom. renewed)
$4,400: 230 players (206 regular, 24 autom. renewed)
$4,000: 100 players (18 autom. renewed, 82 arbitration)
Other than those 8 players with middle-of-the-road arbitration contracts (this seems to be new), it's still exactly the same situation...a few superstar players making top money, and the entire rest of the league getting the minimum, or the minimum plus 10%, or the minimum plus 20%. The big middle of the salary curve simply doesn't get used by AI-calculated contracts.
Simming ahead to the off-season, the same thing...free agents almost invariably sign for $4,400 or $4,000 per year, with a small handful signing for $10,000.
