Nope. The important point to notice is that there are no edits to the original file. That's why both Created and Modified are the same for that file. For the copy of that original file, Modified states the time of the creation of original file. And only before the copy itself has been edited the first time.

Copy of edited original would state the last edit time of original as Modified, not the time the original file was created.

Nope again, look at the picture. A is true when the original file was not edited, both attributes are the same. C is true for the unedited copy of unedited original. For the completeness sake I should perhaps say C applies for both attributes if they are the same in the source. But the point here is, you'll have to know at what state your files are before you can say what Modified tells you.
