No, but more than the two which are scanned do.

I've found this elisp function on the web which will scan under a
directory tree.

(defun org-roam-update-ids ()
  "Update all org-ids in org-roam-directory."
  (interactive)
  (org-id-update-id-locations
   (directory-files-recursively org-roam-directory "\\.org$")))

If I call this, I get the behaviour intended.  All the files are
scanned.

I'll consider this solved!
