Not really:

$ man bash

       When bash is started non-interactively, to  run  a  shell  script,  for
       example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in the environment, expands
       its value if it appears there, and uses the expanded value as the  name
       of  a  file to read and execute.  Bash behaves as if the following com-
       mand were executed:
              if [ -n "$BASH_ENV" ]; then . "$BASH_ENV"; fi
       but the value of the PATH variable is not used to search for  the  file
       name.

$ ssh host2 strace -e open bash -c :
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib/libncurses.so.5", O_RDONLY)  = 3
open("/lib/tls/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY)   = 3
open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)    = 3
open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY)             = 3
open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY)         = 3
open("/proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max", O_RDONLY) = 3
