Yes, that definitely happens. In fact, from what I've seen, it's the norm: companies who give out homework projects only bother spending any time with you if you completed them to their satisfaction.
Otherwise you just get a meaningless auto-generated that they're rejecting you.

If I'm a mediocre programmer in the US, I can go online and buy a solution with a full, detailed verbal explanation attached. Then I'll take maybe 40 minutes to read through the solution and explanation, and voila, I'm ready for any followup session you may have.
