Yes.
Here's a crude diagram of the regulator wiring.
Blue wire provides electricity to the Alternator's field windings (the ones the spin) AND
Blue wire also goes to the Voltage Regulator to indicate system voltage.

Green Wire is the outlet for the field windings. It goes to ground through the Regulator. The regulator controls power by the amount of current allowed to flow to ground.
