Sort of.

When you fire a D motor, you are energizing all three coils really; one coil in parallel with the other two coils in series.

When you fire a Y motor, you are energizing two coils, in series, simultaneously. And one is left unenergized.

Yeah, that's different, but there are still only three points to fire off total, two of which are fired at any one time. Why would there need to be different programming?
