Technically yes, to some degree. However, JVM and Dalvik bytecode retains enough information, compared to machine code, to recover the source with a good enough level of quality that you could sometimes modify it and compile it back.
In the context of JVM, obfuscation is an extra step where identifiers are renamed to various kinds of nonsense to make code more compact and supposedly hinder reverse engineering.
