Yes. From policy:
6.7. Details of removal and/or configuration purging
----------------------------------------------------
[...]
3. <postrm> remove
4. All the maintainer scripts except the `postrm' are removed.
If we aren't purging the package we stop here. Note that
packages which have no `postrm' and no `conffile's are
automatically purged when removed, as there is no difference
except for the `dpkg' status.
