Yes, that's the idea, and it's done very easily.  Just click the radio 
button next to the floppy disk format you prefer, and the program will 
build to a virtual DSK, mount it in M.E.S.S. if you wish, and go straight 
into the emulator so you can type DIR and see everything.  If it's a ROM 
you built, it gets mounted as a ROM Pak and starts up right away.  The same 
DSK and ROM images naturally can be "burned" to real floppies or EPROMs 
that definately work on a real CoCo.
