Yes, the behavior of the CTS/RTS pins should the same whenever they
are GPIOs or not.
That was the case before commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix
RTS line management when
hardware handshake is enabled")
BUT, this commit (1cf6e8fc834) introduced the actual use of the
ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS flag.
This flags changes the way RTS/CTS pins are driven, and that's the
discussion we are having in patch 3/3.

Thanks.
