Yes. They are. The IDE even add the -B option if needed.
But there are some corner cases.

It does work in normal cases.
But when you switch from one Lazarus version to another or when people
mess up things, the automatic detection of the IDE and/or FPC may fail
and manual clean up is needed.
That's why 0.9.31 has a "Run / clean up build files".
Something similar is needed for the IDE and lazbuild.
I will implement it next week.
