In principle yes, but depends on the fault impedance. You hope to get a hard short in order to blow the fuse. And hope your battery soc is high enough that the resistance of your battery pack is low enough. In most situations it will probably be just fine. But in some it might not
A typical overload situation that is not catastrophic like a short is also handled by the BMS: your BMS should cut off before the fuse in that situation.
