No, not necessarily. If the other application simply changes the
file, the resource fork will remain untouched. Of course, if the
other application replaces the existing file whenever a change
occurs, then the resource fork may disappear.
I guess this appends to what is passed in as the atomically:
parameter when the file is saved. Though, depending on how this
implemented internally, they may just be swapping the data forks,
then it would work.
But I doubt that it would kill the resource fork. If it does, that's
a bug, because it would kill any user overrides and custom icons the
user assigned to that file through the Finder's info window.
