Yes.

There are no more IPv4 "bogons".  All IPv4 addresses have been
allocated to the regional registries who will soon allocate them to
organizations.  The era of filtering unallocated IPv4 addresses
("bogons") is over.  All that should be in there are RFC1918 and other
special use blocks (unless you are using these locally), e.g.:
