I think this is only true for DistributedMesh. If you take a look at
ReplicatedMesh::renumber_nodes_and_elements(), it doesn't really take
processor_id() into account.

You could test this by changing the processor ids of an existing,
partitioned mesh and then calling renumber_nodes_and_elements() to see if
anything changes... I don't think it will.
