A supercharged engine developing 49" of manifold pressure during takeoff, for example, will not maintain 49" of manifold pressure, or the same supercharger output, after a power loss, even though the same propeller RPM remains.
Absolutely correct....notwithstanding others comments to the contrary.
And yes, supercharged, not turbosupercharged.

The rest who think otherwise are sadly misinformed.
