Yes, that will work. Further information is provided in Recharge the built-in battery in your Apple keyboard, mouse, or trackpad which states:

"Charge your device

To charge your device's battery, connect a Lightning to USB cable to its Lightning port, then connect the other end of the cable to your Mac or a USB power adapter. For the fastest battery charging performance, make sure your device is on while charging.

Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad can be used while charging. Magic Mouse is unavailable for use while charging."
