Yes.  Good observation!  This is the same as RPG III/400 doing a RETRN:

RPG for AG06R
     C                     ADD  1         COUNT   50
     C           COUNT     DSPLY
     C                     RETRN
CALL AG06R - 1
CALL AG06R - 2
CALL AG06R - 3
RCLRSC
CALL AG06R - 1


If the ILE program were set to AG(*CALLER) in an environment like this:
GLPGM AG('GL')
  AG06 AG(*CALLER)

APPGM AG('AP')
  AG06 AG(*CALLER)

There would be two sets of static variables - one in AG('GL') and one in
AG('AP')  The counts would be incremented separately, depending on who
called it.
