Unlikely. Just because they supply the config like that doesn't mean it's the only testing. If the platform is dicky and needs 200 patches installed to make it work (HP has this sporadically) then I presume they test with all the appropriate patches. It might be nice to ask Informix to list all the patches, but have you SEEN the nightmare that is the HP-UX patch list? Oy Vey!
