You bet your bippy! The name of the preset is (and always has been) an indication of the sound, not an indication of the underlying algorithm. Lex algorithms are generally quite flexible and sometimes we get a better effect by 'abusing' the algorithm. Once you get to the 960L and PCM96, you'll even find rooms made from delay algorithms (on the PCM96, there are even rooms made from chorus and pitch shift).
I've been amused that another thread has latched onto a hall preset called "EM7", believing it to be our attempt at modeling the Bricasti. In fact, that preset is based on the new "Room" algorithm and was simply a tip of the hat. Just as a hall can be used to make a room, a room can be used to make a hall!
Confused enough?
