Yes, I think so. You need the APT option
  APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
Debian Installer adds this since Sarge in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom IIRC.

Nevertheless there is no way I know to have this working also
with CD/DVD image files instead of using CD/DVDs registered with
apt-cdrom. And I also noticed during my last upgrade that unsigned
packages provided via loopback devices are ignored if another APT source
with signed packages (even from a very slow network mirror) are
available.
