Yes.

as documented:

       --othermirror [deb http://xxx/xxx/ ./ | other deb lines... ]
              The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with | Like deb http://local/mirror stable main|deb file:/usr/local/mirror ./

              The  deb  lines  here  are  the ones that will appear at the top of the sources.list inside the chroot.  Be sure to follow the syntax rules of sources.list(5).
              These lines appear at the beginning of the constructed sources file, so this is the place to list your local mirror sites; apt will then use them in preference
              to the ones listed in --mirror .
