Pretty much, yes. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__fstat.2c_._fstati64.asp
and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__stat.2c_._wstat.2c_._stati64.2c_._wstati64.asp

The latter states:  "The inode, and therefore *st_ino*, has no meaning
in the FAT, HPFS, or NTFS file systems." The fstat page doesn't even
refer to it at all.
