NO. When 0x0622 changes its display form into ISOLATED FORM because of context it still stays 0x0622.
Only the glyph changes, not the underlying char.

If it is really a 0xfe81 char, encoded as such, then no.

Which is indeed what happpens if you avoid using the presentation form code points, as you should.
