Yes. File plug-ins tell GIMP the magic numbers of the file formats they
can handle. And this is when used to select the plug-in to handle a file
format.
The magic number is a feature that allows to identify the file format -
or at least guess it reasonably well. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 for more
information about this.
