Yes, inductance is of an entire loop. For convenience of analysis the loop is often broken into components. The effective inductance of the capacitor to the PDN is the loop that includes the interconnect to the rest of the PDN, ( or at least where you are measuring ), and the physical capacitor structure. This presentation from my web site explains the physics. http://www.ipblox.com/pubs/SVCEMC_Feb_2006/stack_up_vias_pdn_public.pdf The chart on page 23 should help you. Steve.
