Usually yes, but not always.  All normal compositions
(i.e. compositions for displaying a script in the correct
way) are registered in composition-function-table (a
char-table).  So, by looking up the table for each
character, we can recover compositions (though very slow).
But, it's possible to manually compose some text.  For
instance please try this:

(insert (compose-string "+o" 0 2 '(?+ (tc . bc) ?o)))

It inserts "+o" with composition property that can't be
recovered automatically once lost.
