Azure Event Hubs Streaming: Does Checkpointing override setStartingPosition?

If we specify the starting position in EventHub conf like so:

EventHubsConf(ConnectionStringBuilder(eventHubConnectionString).build)
  .setStartingPosition(EventPosition.fromStartOfStream)
or
  .setStartingPosition(EventPosition.fromEndOfStream)

And also sepecify the checkpoint location in the StreamWriter

streamingInputDF
  .writeStream
  .option("checkpointLocation", checkpointLocation)
  ...

After a restart, does the setStartingPosition become irrelevant because the checkpoint is always used as the point from where to begin reading?

Thanks.
