No, it won't. Index 16 will not be defined unless specified. If you want
$stuff[16] to return the same value as the 'phone' key, you should define
both:

$stuff['phone'] = 12345;
$stuff[16] =& $stuff['phone'];
$stuff['phone'] =& $stuff[16];

$stuff['phone'] .= 6;
$stuff[16] .= 7;
print $stuff[16]; // 1234567
print $stuff['phone']; // 1234567
