If you mean from trailing edge of pulse Number 1 to leading edge
of pulse Number 2 then, Yes. The pulses are the same time apart.

If you mean leading edge of pulse Number 1 to leading edge of
pulse Number 2 then they are not always the same time apart.
The width of the pulse controls servo position.
for example maybe 1mS.....1.5mS......2mS   is Left..Neutral..Right.

Just for interest, what are you building?
