Yes, but it's not always the same pin for +5V. I found that out the hard 
way when making a connector for a C64 PSU to check the voltages. Some of 
the brick-type PSUs didn't show any +5V while a C64 connected to those 
PSUs worked. After taking a look at the pinouts I found out why, they 
used the other +5V pin...
