Seems that way, if the non-purple hair is something to go by, but I would think that change was going to take a few weeks to set in, though. Then again, I wouldn't exactly consider Carnival Phantasm canon.
A less-than-conclusive hint from HF (my bold): Dark Sakura: "But Nee-san isn't dead. She's still suffering inside of me. …Hah. So she was a virgin. I'm letting her experience what I've been through, but she's already crying on the first day." That could mean one thing or the other, but I always had the impression Zouken didn't waste any time for niceties.

Not to mention that in the manga Shinji met her when she already was infested by the worms
