Does DF actually generate the geology of the whole planet, rather than just the playable area?

You select the area you'll be playing with at the embark, so yes, the whole planet's surface is generated. But I apart from the surface layer, I doubt that this simulation takes planet core into account, for example: in the game world's it would be filled with SPOILER anyway.
