No. That's why it gets translated *IF* it occurs.

Yes, the translation is included in the spec for completeness. It should 
never occur.

Theoretically this particular translation ('/' <-> 0x00f8) should not be 
required.
The impact of not supporting it would be that if SOMEHOW a file exists with
a '/' in it the CATIA windows client would not be able to access that 
file. This
is extremely unlikely.
