Yes. 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved IPv4 address space for Loopback. It is perfectly valid, and occasionally useful, to use other loopback addresses that are functionally identical, like 127.0.1.1 or 127.0.0.53, which carry semantic information for the initiated, like "53? Must be DNS-related, obviously!"
