Not normally. It's wrapped in an unwind protection form like
'with-current-buffer'. The following untested snippet should be (1)
fairly optimal for the normal case where the selected window is quit
and (2) guard against the case where the function run on the hook does
soemthing unexpected with the window configuration:
(let ((window (window-normalize-window window))
(buffer (window-buffer window)))
(if (and (eq window (selected-window))
(eq buffer (current-buffer)))
(run-hooks 'quit-window-hook)
;; Select WINDOW for `quit-window-hook'.
(with-selected-window window
(run-hooks 'quit-window-hook)))
;; Run 'quit-restore-window' only if 'quit-window-hook' has left
;; WINDOW alone.
(when (and (window-live-p window)
(eq (window-buffer window) buffer))
(quit-restore-window window (if kill 'kill 'bury))))
Something like (2) is needed, for example, when a function run by the
hook kills WINDOW's buffer and 'kill-buffer' cleans up WINDOW by
deleting it which in its turn would cause 'quit-restore-window' act on
the window selected after 'replace-buffer-in-windows'. For an amusing
example of why such a thing is necessary have a look at how often
'kill-buffer' checks whetheer the buffer it's supposed to kill is
still alive.

You would have to provide a somewhat disputable doc-string, indeed.
