No, Inkscape uses Cario only in *some* places (outline view), the main rendering is made with its own engine. But while not perfect, these days Cario is quite good.
I'm still trying to understand the actual codepath used when an svg file is loaded. Cairo has its own dialetic for drawing to a screen. My understanding is that for most gnome apps, they end up parsing the svg file with librsvg which can translate into cairo-speak. And that translation into native Cairo instructions...might have some issues.
