Yes. Remember this, the cam gear has twice as many teeth as the crank gear so the cam only rotates at 1/2 the speed of the crank. Therefore when you align it dot to dot and rotate the crankshaft 1 turn the cam dot will now be at 12 O'clock.
It is always a good idea to degree in a new cam/timing chain combo. You never know when you might get something defective. A few yrs. ago I degreed the cam in a 454 Chevy for a guy and found it was 16 degrees off due to a defective timing set. It would have been a miracle if it would have even ran. Degreeing' in the cam also makes sure your new cam is installed at the intended point to work the best.
