     Yes it does.  What do you think "arp -s ... ..." would do?  This
is the same mechanism that the "proxyarp" option of pppd would use.
BTW, rarpd does it opposite, i.e. it converts mac addresses to IP
addresses and is used for booting diskless client as well as assigning
addresses to certain networking devices such as printers.  However,
there is an "arpd" in pkgsrc which presumably gives more flexibility
then "arp -s" does.
