my limited experience tells me the same - an SRM watt is the same regardless of location. I usually try to structure my tempo w/o on the trainer using my normalized power from road rides. It seems to carry over pretty well, but I do notice that my HR seems to be lower indoors. That may be door to other factors (heat, hydration, etc. . . ).
happy miles,

When using an indoor trainer with an SRM on-bike unit, is a trainer wattequivolant to a road watt?
Being one of those using a Polar I would have to say Yes to your question. At least from my perspective. I have three different FTPs One for the road, one for the trainer and one for the rollers. Do I love my rollers? About 50W higher than on the road and 100W higher than the trainer.
Maybe my reply was maybe a little unclear. What I meant was that an SRM doesn't care if it's on a trainer or outdoors, whereas my Polar does. Hence a Watt for you is a Watt.
On the other hand. a trainer is different as far as the ratio of Pavg an NP goes. They tend to be a lot closer indoors and this may account for small differences of adaption. Others can indulge in that a lot better than me.
