Who knows? Whatever goes on in public is likely to be just so much Kabuke theater.

Wouldn't surprise me though. If they did, it was probably a general agreement not to get in each others' faces for now. Better to let both countries profit from the ambiguity for awhile. China gets uninterrupted economic growth and Russia gets pipelines, a secure border with China, and natural gas/oil development money.
