Yes. Intuitively the signal current is dependent on the gm of the lower device. The output voltage (and hence the gain) is dependent on the load on the upper device.

The gm of the upper device does have a major impact on how 'still' the join is. And the signal at the join makes a big difference to the Miller fed-back capacitance.
