No, it doesn't; but this may depend from the implementation.   Look:

        MLO@mlinux 26 $ cat Makefile
        foo bar: quux
                @echo executing
                @touch foo bar
        MLO@mlinux 27 $ rm -f foo bar && touch quux
        MLO@mlinux 28 $ make foo bar
        executing
        make: `bar' is up to date.
        MLO@mlinux 29 $ make --version
        GNU Make 3.80
