Sure, as long as you run it over ssh.

The default in Debian is to run rsync over ssh, but it can also
be explicitly invoked that way:

rsync -av --rsh=ssh host::module /dest

or

rsync -av -e "ssh -l ssh-user" rsync-user@host::module /dest

or

rsync -e "ssh -l sshuser" localpath remotehost:remotepath
