Freezing parameters in Stage version

Until today I was thinking that "freeze" actually only freezes parameters I'm allowed to edit in my version (Stage), so mic settings, hammer hardness etc. will be taken from chosen preset. I think I was wrong. For example, choosing Steinway B Player, freezing all and then switching to Distant preset makes them sound exactly the same. So let's say, I choose one of the 9ft grand presets (Steingraeber), freeze parameters and switch to Steinway B - will it maintain, for example, strings length or hammer hardness parameters?
