No. The backup in ROM Manager is a NAND backup, if you restore that you will be back on the previous version, as you left it. It is a failsafe in case something goes wrong with the new flash or you just want to jump back to the old version easily.
OMJ posted instructions on how to pull the data image from that backup and restore that. I think like he does, that that is the same as not wiping your data prior to flashing so I dont do it. Could be wrong on that.
I'd look at an app like Titanium Backup to save your settings to take from one ROM to another.

Edit: OMJs restore instructions:
