As far as I understand, that is correct. But I do not know what PovRay 
does in an animation when it reads a data file each frame.

Which makes me wonder what PovRay does in an animation that consists of 
a .pov file which includes a different file to be rendered each frame.

For instance Bishop3d handles animations by exporting a distinct file 
for each frame. It does not make full use of the clock variable.

Ini file:

Input_File_Name = T02f4_Newdf3_03b_.pov
Output_File_Name = T02f4_Newdf3_03b_
Initial_Frame = 0
Final_Frame = 9999
Subset_Start_Frame = 0
Subset_End_Frame = 359

T02f4_Newdf3_03b_.pov file:

#include concat( "T02f4_Newdf3_03b_", str( frame_number, -4, 0 ) ".pov" )
