        I don't thinks so... give them numbers:
filename = "myfile" (length = 6)
bytes allocated: 6 + 1 = 7 bytes (lets give buff any address: 10 to 16)
poke(10,"myfile") ---> pokes bytes 10,11,12,13,14,15
poke(10+6,0) = poke(16,0) --> Which is defenitly the right offset of buff

I don't know if you understand my demostration, but if you didn't... the
original way is right, you must understand that offsets start from '0'.

Thanks anyway,
