In many cases yes, but you can find quite a few exceptions.
For example, "Ishikawa" in romaji is Japanese, even if it is
written in Latin script, and I used the language tag "ja" in
quite a few places for that.  With RFC 4646 I could use "ja-Latn"
in that case, but anyway, there's more than one way to write
Japanese and I wouldn't simply assume that "ja" means "written
in Kanji-Kana mixture".
