No.

1. the actual environment variables are set in .bashrc & .profile just
calls that

2. Your reference above isn't clear that a non-interactive shell
invoked as sh only loads the BASH_ENV file and none of the others but
official Gnu docs are, see section 6.2 in:

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Invoking-Bash
