Yes, in one sense. But not in the sense I had in mind. There is 
additional space above the displayed equation in the latter case. I take 
it that this is in the inter-paragraph spacing. Please correct me if the 
additional space is coming from somewhere else. But I get the same in 
the latter case as if I'd written:

test

~
$$x=y$$
