Yes and no...

function (v)
.approxfun(x, y, v, method, yleft, yright, f)

[1] "f" "method" "x" "y" "yleft" "yright"
> stats:::.approxfun
function (x, y, v, method, yleft, yright, f)
.Call(C_Approx, x, y, v, method, yleft, yright, f)
<bytecode: 0x1155a91f0>
and if you dig a little deeper, you find that the call to C_approx is also the content of approx() once all the initial "red tape" is peeled off. So the function is really not much different from a call to approx() using the arguments that were saved at the creation of the function.
