That would seem likely, yes.
As I understand it, if you delete an item, it goes to the Deleted Items
folder. When you empty this, the item is retained for a further X days
(defined by the Exchange administrator). After this, it is *really* deleted.
If the stuff is still in Deleted Items, just move it back. If you've
emptied that, there's still a "Recover Deleted Item" menu item hidden
somewhere which lets you resurrect it (without needing to call the
server admin).
I would imagine if you most an item to a PST file, you can still recover
it via the menu command. But I could be wrong.
At any rate, X days after you moved the item to the PST file, it will
*definitely* be gone from the server, and that's the end of that.
(Although if the data was on the server a long time, it's probably on
backup tape somewhere...)

The size limit is 500MB. My mailbox is 108KB, currently.
