Alas, no when you have a SSID remembered it doesn't know if it's hidden or not. (well maybe apple has some privacy behavior for this). It's not only used for hidden networks: clients probe so they can quickly enumerate nearby access points so they can switch over to them fast if they lose connectivity.
