Yes, root *is* limited by login.conf. Excerpt from the login.conf(5)
man page:

     A special record "default" in the system user class capability database
     /etc/login.conf is used automatically for any non-root user without a
     valid login class in /etc/master.passwd. A user with a uid of 0 without a
     valid login class will use the record "root" if it exists, or "default"
     if not.
