As said above, IoB only counts towards BGL corrections. If you just had a meal and put in a bolus, your blood sugar is naturally going to spike up for a while. If you tried to correct this "fake" high, you'd go low later.

So if you have desert 20min later, test you BGL, see you are high (~10mmol/l), you put in a correction AND carbs bolus, the pump will ignore the required amount of "correction" insulin (since there is already insulin in your body bringing down your BGL) and just put in the carbs bolus.
