No, it does not.  It uses the following logic to determine if
a given page view is a node view:

if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1)) && arg(2) == '')

So long as your node is viewed the standard Drupal way via
"node/#" this should work fine.  (URL aliasing doesn't
matter, as arg(0) and arg(1) will still be set correctly to
"node" and "#".)

So it used to work, then it stopped?

What did you change around the time it stopped working?

Typically I've only seen calls to statistics_exit() stop
working when there was a bug in your code somewhere causing a
PHP error before _exit() can be called.  Check your Watchdog
log as well as your Apache error_log (or the equivalent).

If you recently changed your template, it's possible you've
introduced an error there...
