Roger that, but does the dump of a database name the tablespaces from which the objects were retrieved? And if so, is that accessible?

"--no-tablespaces

    Do not output commands to select tablespaces. With this option, all objects will be created in whichever tablespace is the default during restore.

Would indicate it does. I don't have cluster set up with tablespaces to test, but I would try:

pg_restore -l <custom_format_file>

This will produce a Table of Contents for the file.
