I believe the answer is yes. The numbers posted by Dr. Philippe appear
to include non-public sequences held at MIPS or at one of the other
sequencing centers around the world. These would be regions that are
considered almost done and now being annotated and verified, but not
yet submitted to the public databases.
Note that SGD, which might be what is referred to as SDB above, only
contains publicly available sequences. That is, SGD does not contain
any sequences that are not already in GenBank/EMBL.

We estimate that 52% of the S. cerevisiae genome is present in
GenBank/EMBL. This estimate includes some analysis that we have done
on yeast sequences in GenBank. We built a non-redundant set of
sequences, or a consensus sequence contig, out of the GenBank
sequences. When the consensus sequences are combined with the genomic
sequencing results we obtain a number of 6.4Mbp. The amount of
publicly available sequences expected from the genomic sequencing
projects should increase by 4Mbp in 1995. Thus it is advised that you
regularly search the GenBank/EMBL on the chance that your region of
interest has been made public.
