Not necessarily, a short to ground in the choke would not cause a component down stream from it to smoke. You could have a paper power supply bypass cap that's leaky or shorted, which generally will smoke a resistor feeding voltage to that circuit. In some cases it could be a coil. Can you post a picture showing the area the smoke came from?
