yup ... your user data (with all the above custom bits) lives in
~/snap/<snapname>/<snapversion>/ an upgrade copies these bits forward
into the ~/snap/<snapname>/<new snap version>/ dir

at the same time the squashfs file that the old snap was gets unmunted
from /snap though and the new one gets mounted ... 

the icon lives in that (ro) squashfs file while your user data lives in
your (rw) home ... when the old thing gets unmounted the actual icon
file (and all other payload files of the snap) vanishes until the new
one gets mounted ...
