No. That's wrong.
Concerning
    i = a[i] = i+1;
Assignment, is not a sequence point.
The above code does not say whether the value of (i+1)
is stored first in (a[i]) or in (i).


This is defined:

    for (i = 0; i < sizeof a / sizeof *a; ++i) {
        a[i] = i + 1;       		/* set a to {1, 2, 3, ...} */
    }
