I would say yes, more or less. Theres some interestiong stuff in the way families of gods are composed; I was reading ST recently and noticed this pattern in the Earth goddessess, IIRC it mentions that ernalda's "mother" was her predecessor; Ernalda was the youngest of the three daughter-deities of the prior batch, and the youngest of her goddess children, Voria IIRC, will probably go on to be the next mother-goddess. This is an internal dynamic, wheras the Lunar opccupation would be an external one. Yes, I'd say if the YT replaced Humakt physically, Humakt is replaced mythically too.
