OK, I tested it myself...

With cmd +r the recovery mode is started and I can reinstall Yosemite, 
because it is on my recovery partition.

With option + cmd + r also the recovery mode is started, but I can only 
install Lion which was installed on my Mac as I bought it.

Looks like internet recovery can be forced even if a working recovery 
partition is on the hard drive.

Ciao,

  Christian
