Basically, yes they are. YUM actually uses the RPM database to figure
out what is installed, and then checks it against its database to see
what updates are available.

Subject: RPM vs YUM
Hey mates,
Probably a really stupid question but...
Are packages (.rpm's) installed using "rpm -i *.rpm" plugged into the
yum database too? I mean do they get updated with yum update, etc?
If not, is there a way to make them so?
