With SQL 2017 -- does OPENJSON remove the escape sequences from the raw JSON data

Question

SQL proc consuming JSON payload from Web Service but the data was escaped before being received in the procedure. I have a payload like this:

{
    "RES_NBR_ID": "00000056566",
    "RES_SCRIPT_NM": "Test Script",
    "RES_SCRIPT_ID": "jcet2",
    "RES_RESULT_GROUP_ID": 42622528,
    "RES_CREATED_BY_ID": "Jcccc",
    "RES_QUESTION_TXT": "asdf",
    "RES_ANSWER_TXT": "asdfa\"asfasf",
    "SORT_NBR": 4,
    "RES_QUESTION_ID": 4,
    "RES_DELETED_BY_ID": ""
}

You'll notice that the ANSWER_TXT is really asdfa"asfasf The backslash was put in by the JSON.stringify function on the service

So will using OPENJSON like the following remove all stringfy sequences:

SELECT (SELECT MAX(RES_ID) FROM SCRT_RESULTS) + ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY RES_QUESTION_TXT) AS RES_ID
,RES_NBR_ID
,RES_SCRIPT_NM
,RES_QUESTION_TXT
,RES_ANSWER_TXT
,RES_CREATED_BY_ID
,getdate() [RES_CREATED_DT]
,RES_DELETED_BY_ID
,getdate() [RES_DELETED_DT]
,RES_RESULT_GROUP_ID
,RES_SORT_NBR
,RES_SCRIPT_ID
,RES_QUESTION_ID
,getUTCdate() [RES_CREATED_UTC_DT]
 from openjson(@json_result) 
WITH(
     RES_NBR_ID     varchar(16)
    ,RES_SCRIPT_NM          varchar(150) 
    ,RES_SCRIPT_ID          varchar(5) 
    ,RES_RESULT_GROUP_ID    bigint 
    ,RES_CREATED_BY_ID      varchar(20)  
    ,RES_QUESTION_TXT       varchar(2000)  
    ,RES_ANSWER_TXT         varchar(2000) 
    ,RES_SORT_NBR           int 
    ,RES_QUESTION_ID        int 
    ,RES_DELETED_BY_ID      varchar(20) 

 )
