Yes, but the HQ book gives a somewhat different take on this in the Hero Questing chapter. It talks about the layered myths, so that one can be Barntar fighting Daga, instead of Orlanth Fighting Aroka, or a hero who's name I can't remember...
So the picture there is that one would hardly be actually questing as Orlanth, but rather as Daga, or as hero X from the year stick and stone.
