It could. Particularly if the relay's points are sticky it may not be releasing quickly either. The starter relay does a lot more than just the starting too. All the power from the battery goes through it (and the main fuse) and it provides feeds to fuses 5, 6 and 7 amongst a lot of other things such as the regulator/rectifier. So there quite a lot of potential for the starter relay to cause trouble.
However, I must emphasise what I said earlier, that your symptoms "would suggest" the starter relay, in other words, it isn't definite, just very likely to be, which is why "borrowing" a relay would be a good move. It could be any component I have mentioned in the last couple of posts! But the starter relay is what I'd turn to first.
