That is not 100% reliable, it depends on the option CONFIG_BUSYBOX:

The busybox applet provides general help message and allows the
included applets to be listed.  It also provides optional --install
command to create applet links. If you unselect this option, running
busybox without any arguments will give just a cryptic error message

$ busybox
busybox: applet not found
Symbol: BUSYBOX [=y]
Prompt: Include busybox applet
