Not exactly, and it's therefore good practice to add the matchtext field when possible. Compare these two:

Code:
on ^*:open:?:*:{ echo -s got message from $nick $+ : $1- | halt }
vs
on ^*:open:?:{ echo -s got message from $nick $+ : $1- | halt }

The first one will work, the second one won't (because of the : in the echo command).
