Does creating an offline package for Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 include updates from Update 1?

Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 is a cumulative release that includes the new features and fixes that were delivered in Visual Studio 2012 Update 1.
Problem
I downloaded `VS2012.2.exe` and ran it via: ``` VS2012.2.exe /layout ``` to get an offline version of the installer. Now I'm wondering whether this includes the whole set of updates ever since the RTM of Visual Studio 2012 or only those since Update 1. The description on the download page isn't exactly unambiguous: This update is the latest in a cumulative series of feature additions and bug fixes for Visual Studio 2012. Cumulative makes sense, but the baseline isn't mentioned.
