Yes, and that's what you want. Unless you like the boxy affected sound of a very small room.
One of my customers is "the voice" for WABC-TV promos. He lives only 20 minutes from me, and sends his work to the TV studio in NYC via ISDN phone lines. This guy has a
very expensive booth that cost $12,000 or some crazy amount like that. But even after all that money it was not completely dead, and also had some mid-bass boominess issues. The station complained they could still hear a small amount of room tone in his recordings. So we sold him four HF MiniTraps to make the room even more dead and reduce the boominess. Now everyone is happy.
The point being that small rooms need to be as dead sounding as possible. It's easy to add reverb and ambience electronically, but it's impossible to remove room tone.
