That's correct. That's how Autocompletion works. The autocompletion cache
is unrelated to your Contacts and gets populated as you enter addresses.

If you type in "Joe" and press CTRL-K and you have the Autoresolution option
enabled, either the contact will be filled in (if it's the only contact
containing "Joe") or you will be given a list if contacts containing the
string "joe" and you can choose which you want.
