Yep. Even in the non-GPS entries this is the case. The measurement, whether time or distance, is ultimately based on =inbound= distance. The entry is just a way to get you established inbound for the first time.

If you look at the AIM (5-3-7.j.3.), the recommendations for 1 minute outbound for the teardrop and parallel entries are independent of whether the hold itself is a timed or distance one, or whether it's based on a VOR, NDB or GPS..
