In a word, yes.  Dictionary keys are not limited to being name objects.

To quote book, chapter and verse, the Adobe Red Book says:

	"Keys are normally name objects;  the PostScript syntax and the
	 interpreter are optimized for this most common case.  However,
	 a key may be any PostScript object except null.  If you attempt
	 to use a string as a key, PostScript will first convert the
	 string to a name object; thus, strings and names are
	 interchangable when used as keys in dictionaries."
