Yes, except that the pedal goes from 0 to 1, not -1 to 1.

The primary reason there are separate fixed vibrato levels for each
oscillator is so that you can turn on sync and apply heavy sweep mod to
oscillator 2.

If you combine fixed vibrato with mod lever or pedal vibrato, they add
together. Since the mod lever goes negative when you pull it, it can
subtract from the fixed vibrato.

Also be aware that the fixed vibrato isn't entirely fixed, because it has a
delay envelope applied to it, while the vibrato that is injected via the mod
lever or pedal has no delay.
