Yes.

Regardless of direction turned, turning key from ign. on (15) to
engage and turn starter (50), power is constantly supplied to the 15
buss. I imagine this wouldn't be hard to test?

It's a relatively small detail the older Bentley diagrams but there is
a black line shown between 15 & 50 (starter cranking position)
