Positive.  The first argument to exec* is the actual command to run, the first array item in argv is the "name" of the program passed to the command and is generally chopped off.

You can test this with a simple python script:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
print sys.argv
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    os.execve(sys.argv[0], sys.argv[1:], os.environ)

$ chmod +a ./test
$ ./test 1 2 3
['./test.py', '1', '2', '3']
['./test.py', '2', '3']
['./test.py', '3']
['./test.py']
