Sort of. Although you can download unhidden purchases made by other members of your family to your computers or devices, your own iCloud Music Library cannot contain items purchased by other Apple IDs. In short it is easier to simply locate and add such items from the Apple Music catalog rather than obtain them through the purchase history.
