For a host sending to another host on the same *subnet*, no, the sender doesn't go through slow-start. (In BSD-derived TCP stacks.) "Another host on the same subnet" means that the sender doesn't need to forward packets through a router to get to the destination, which is a slightly broader case than "the same 'LAN'".
