This is roughly the form of the answer, at present, yes.

Note that this causes the transactions to actually be created into the
future.  They're not "temporary" or "provisional" or "forecast" or anything …
just post-dated.

While – internally – the created transactions are associated with the
Scheduled Transaction (SX) they're created from, nothing is done with that
linkage … like, say, removing the future-created transactions when the
parameters of the SX change in the editor.

There is no report which would do this, though changes in the SX internals in
2.2 would make it much easier to write such a thing.

(All this should really be a FAQ; it'd be great if someone could move it into
<http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ>.)
