I presume so, but I haven't tried it myself.

I don't know anything other than how it seems to work. For example, in
Leopard:
set x to "blah" & return & linefeed & "blah"
count of characters of x --> 9
character 5 of x --> in Script Debugger, "\r\n"
id of character 5 of x --> {13, 10}
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {linefeed}
count of text items of x --> 1
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
(The result is the same if you use ASCII character 10 instead of the
built-in linefeed.)
