Basically yes.
But the upvotes are checked once a week on Monday and the Tier 1 and Tier 2 is updated then. So if you are proved during the week and by next Monday there is 7 posts from previous week upvoted by you, yes you will on T2 :)

Awesome awesome, well I submitted and sent the money, will upvote 8 posts now and then set automated voting :)
