Yes, given that the _target_ location is of res=50. You can, however,
control this by changing the resolution (g.region) or directly at the
reprojection process by setting the "resolution=" parameter of the
"r.proj" module. You can even set the resampling algorithm (default
nearest neighbour or bilinear).

Hope this is what you've been looking for.
