Probably. They are the (frame-selected-window) of their respective
frames. I guess that has previously not been possible to see on a tty.
Cab't check at the moment--I've made me a todo to check if xdisp.c does
this differently on ttys.

Got an idea while eating: Does Emacs get a window system focus event
when we unhide a frame? Or something like it? And do we select the frame
then maybe?
