No, you are talking about pressure levels, indicated altitude is the same at any one pressure level and so if you are at say the 900mb pressure level it will allways indicate the same indicated altitude (~3,400' with 1013 set)because what it is measuring IS the pressure so it is measuring the 900mb, what will change is your ACTUAL elevation.
