Assume you're referring to the original Europe / Japan version soundtrack, in which case, definitely yeah.
Various elements evoking "Pacific" seem to be scattered across a bunch of the tracks; sometimes with the instrument sounds, sometimes the chords. There's one particular track which played on the unlocked DA sound test screen (Little Planet tune, I think?) which I always thought sounded like an obvious nod to Pacific's chord sound right from the get go - they even put chirping bird noises in!
