In ES6, do for loops with a let/const initializer create a separate scope?

Yes. A block is a block, and block scoping has shadowing semantics. I
see no point in making exceptions to this rule in a few random places.
In fact, non-compositional scoping restrictions can be harmful, since
they can get in the way of e.g. refactoring or JS as a compilation
target.
