AFAIK, no - rather the opposite.
'face' is dynamically updated by font-lock, so if you modify this text
property directly in a buffer that has font-lock turned on, you get no
visible effect most of the time. You have to use font-lock-face in this
case, as an instruction to font-lock to use the respective face when
fontifying the buffer. See (info "(elisp) Special Properties").
