I just did, and it does. The tablespaces are changed with individual
"SET default_tablespace" lines whenever it changes between dumping two
indexes.

Each index is created independently, with the correct default
tablespace, and then they are all attached together to the parent index
using ALTER INDEX ATTTACH PARTITION. The tablespace assignments are
identical to the source database.

No "SET default_tablespace" lines are emitted in this case, so
everything ends up in the default tablespace, as expected.

I think they are.
