The answer to your question is possibly yes for two reasons:

1) If you're running an autovacuum daemon it might decide it's time to vacuum
the table and kick off a vacuum. That sounds most like what you're describing.

2) If the size of the table changes substantially becoming much larger (or
smaller but that wouldn't happen just due to deletes unless you run vacuum)
then recent versions of Postgres will notice even if you don't run analyze and
take that into account.
