Yes, a reply must be transmitted on the same socket as the request
came over.  This is because independent sockets are not required to
use distinct 64-bit handles, and there is no way for a server to tell
if independent clients are related to one another; sending a reply on
the wrong socket is thus not guaranteed to reach the intended client.
Thus, a compliant server will never send a reply over a different
socket than the original request, and if a client ever gets a reply
with a handle it was not expecting, then the server is buggy or
malicious.
