Yes, just like that. For example, the following works fine for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* foo

Here's a table:

| foo | bar |
|---------------+-----------------|
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| \textbf{bold} | \textit{italic} |
| | |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Not sure if you are talking about radio tables in a LaTeX file,
but that too seems to work fine (see appendix A.5.1 of the Org manual
for more details on this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Here's a table of stuff:

% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL to-buy
\begin{tabular}{rr}
foo & bar \\
\hline
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4 \\
\textbf{bold} & \textit{italic} \\
& \\
\end{tabular}
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL to-buy

%The Org table is inside a LaTeX comment.

% #+ORGTBL: SEND to-buy orgtbl-to-latex
% | foo | bar |
% |---------------+-----------------|
% | 1 | 2 |
% | 3 | 4 |
% | \textbf{bold} | \textit{italic} |
% | | |

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
