Kind of.. Dither doesn't take you down in bitrate. That's what truncating does. Dither just adds random noise which gets rid of the quantization noise caused by digital. You must dither before you truncate or else errors will occor in the truncation process. These errors create and unnatural distortion called quantization distortion.
So..
Dither first... which adds random noise allowing proper truncation
Truncate next... which reduces the bitrate by reducing the waveform
SRC... which resamples and anti-aliases providing the final output format
