Not really. See RFC 5590:

   [...] A
   tmStateReference is passed as an extra parameter in the ASIs between
   the Transport Subsystem and the Message Processing and Security
   Subsystems in order to identify the relevant cache. 

We pass the tmStateReference but no the detailed information the
tmStateReference points to. See also sections 6 of RFC 5590 for all
the details of the changes of the ASIs.
