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---
