Yes, Creator is using the CodeBlocks generator.

Can you please create a minimal testcase where the resulting CodeBlocks 
project file is missing some include directories ?
This sounds like a bug in either CMake when it generates the project files, or 
Creator when it processes them.

I'm not sure this is really necessary. AFAIK the CodeBlocks project files 
contain almost everything what's required.
If there's something missing, there are two options:
1) that missing thing is supported by the CodeBlocks project file format, but 
not implemented in the CodeBlocks generator in CMake or Creator -> should be 
fixed in CMake or Creator respectively
2) some information is missing which is not supported by the CodeBlocks 
project file format -> ideally we should then talk with the CodeBlocks 
developers how to add that information to the project file, in a way that it 
can be used both by Creator and by CodeBlocks
