It would, but nothing else suggested that months have passed. I'd expect that even Lucas would be able to make it obvious, when such a long time is supposed to have passed.

That would only work if her adopted mother died soon after Ep3 or Leia would be incredibly dense. Luke was about as explicit about that whole real mother deal as possible (at least without hitting her over the head). Not to mention that whole scene would become pretty pointless and silly. Lucas will probably go and delete and change that one, too, when he releases his next OT DVD, advertised as finally having correct lightsaber colors, a non-screwed up audio mix and more Gungans on the roof tops.

Leia’s a diplomat, she need to understand what words mean.
When someone says, “Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?” It means that he’s asking about a mother other than the one that comes first to mind.
Which in turn means that Leia, hearing that question and answering without clarification must know of at least two mothers.
Now it is possible that her adopted mother died when she was very young and her adopted father remarried leaving three mothers of which she knew two, but what are the odds of that? Odds are when Luke asks Leia about her REAL mother she answers about the real one.
As for why they would tell her she was adopted, perhaps skin color had a part to play.
