Not necessarily, but I can't say no to that
possibility. Personally I think that *h1 was medially
plain /h/ in IE. Think of the /h/ as a lazy glottal
stop :)
You don't necessarily need a glottal stop to seperate
two vowels in many languages. In some varieties of
English, retroflex-r is used where final -r has been
historically lost. In French, inserting otherwise lost
final sounds of any sort often does the trick
(eg: "trop apparent" /tRo-p-apaRa~/).
