How Gradle transitive dependency artifact names are resolved when importing a local project with custom artifact name?

In a multi-project build, say you have project project-a that publishes on Maven with artifactId = "my-super-cool-project-a" like:

tasks {
    named<AbstractMavenPublication>("myPub") { 
        artifactId = "my-super-cool-project-a"
    }
}
// OR
publishing {
    publications {
        named<MavenPublication>("myPub") {
            artifactId = "my-super-cool-project-a"
        }
    }
}

Then in your project-b you import it in the transitive Java/Kotlin configuration:

dependencies {
    api(project(":project-a"))
}

You then publish project-b on Maven as well. Will project-b pom and/or Gradle Metadata know that the transitive dependency of project-a has the artifactId of my-super-cool-project-a?

My guess is that when using the publishing.publication extensions the published metadata will be correct.
