Yes, it provides a buffer of steam ,and after pressing it is a good idea not the move the pleats for a moment or two, in order to cool down, this helps to set the pleats sharp as well. Some also use a pressing block as well, I often use a large heavty wooden board on top for 10 minutes or so as well, so that the kilt can cool down under a little bit of weight
