In general, yes.
The idea of the Community MIB is to link community-based versions
of SNMP (i.e. v1 & v2c) in with the Access Control model, used by
most modern SNMP agents.

However, note that the Net-SNMP agent does *not* implement the
Community MIB, and community-based Access Control must be
configured via snmpd.conf.   It is not possible to set this up via
SNMP SET requests.
