Yes, indeed. And this is how TEXINPUTS.latex ist set up. But the
TEXINPUTS line in texmf.cnf is not format-specific. It is the fallback
path if none of the format-specific paths applies.

The reason for the afm in TEXINPUTS is that teTeX includes a ps2pk version
that searches for .afm files along the kpse_tex_format path.
There still is no kpse_afm_format, even in the latest tex-pretest.
