Yep. Video quality may be lower and hardware encoders don't support as many features as x264/5 though.

The quality point is key here, unless there's some magic switches for NVENC that make better output.

There's a very visible quality drop when streaming with NVENC, but that's realtime.

NVidia says Turing has much higher quality encoding but I haven't seen any confirmation.
