Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A pseudo-register can be just
an alias for another register, in which case it can share
storage. But it can also be a computed value, in which case
it may have its own storage. I had one case in which a
pseudo-register was the concatenation of two regular
registers -- but they weren't consecutive, so I had to
give the pseudo its own storage and copy them.
