No. Option "using backup controlfile" tells database not to use SCN's from the control file. That's it. It doesn't have any bearing on the recovery process itself. It will apply as many changes as you give it to them. When it reaches current redo log files, it will apply them and finish the recovery. If the current redo log files are lost, you will have to enter "cancel" and open the database with RESETLOGS option.
