You know, this is a good question, and I hadn't thought of this part before
as possibly being the part JKR insisted make it into the movie.  As for
whether it does, I think it does.  Some people may not agree with me,
though.  Let me explain.  I thought I remembered this happening, but
rewatched the scene to make sure before I sent this message.  Harry is alone
in the common room, flipping through the blank diary.  He turns it over to
the back, where he sees "Tom Marvolo Riddle."  Now, if you're watching
closely, Harry's eyes narrow and his head tilts slightly as if he's
thinking, and it looks to me like the exact expression someone would have if
they'd just seen something that seems familar, but they can't remember it.
Then he gets his quill, opens the diary, quill drips ink, ink disappears,
writes in it, and so on.

Hope that makes sense to you!
