No. Any components that already have any part of a texture will retain 
their individual finish.

Consider:

#declare foo = union {
   sphere {0,1 pigment {rgb <1,0,0>}}
   sphere {x,1 }
}
object {foo finish {specular 1}}

Only the unpigmented sphere becomes shiny (I used specular rather than 
ambient or diffuse, because an object with no pigment looks much the 
same whatever you set its ambient or diffuse values to).
