Usually it does. But in some cases the placement of the brackets determines the
structure the transforms are to be applied. Textures can be transformed as well
as objects. So if you have a transform (like rotate, translate or scale or the
totally confusing matrix transforms) within a texture, it will be applied to the
texture and not to the object which the texture is to be applied.

In this case the rotation is applied to the object (the cylinder) and not to the
texture.
