Yes.  From http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html

The File daemon (Client) decides which files to backup for an 
Incremental backup by comparing start time of the prior Job (Full, 
Differential, or Incremental) against the time each file was last 
"modified" (st_mtime) and the time its attributes were last 
"changed"(st_ctime). If the file was modified or its attributes changed 
on or after this start time, it will then be backed up.
