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.
