No, this is wrong.

FPC searches for
1) the unit as written in the "uses"
2) the unit in all lowercase
3) the unit in all uppercase

(see here at the lower half: 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu7.html#x21-280003.1.2 )

So the unit will be found if its file is named in lower case.

Note: The casing of "unit UnitName;" inside the file doesn't matter (it 
doesn't have to match the filename in casing), but it is used by Lazarus 
when autocompleting a unitname in the uses-clause.
