Yes, rpmtsInitIterator() is an analogue to rpmdbInitIterator(), a
data hiding artifact used to rip rpmdb data and methods out of the
rpmlib API.

If you want to see the elements that have been added to a
transaction, then you want a rpmte ("transaction element")
iterator from lib/rpmte.h, not rpmtsInitIterator().
