I believe so. I have some roles in my team I'm hiring for, that have reading code and fixing small bugs as one of the requirements, but not developing code from scratch. (It's a sort-of field engineering role).

We do test for both things (treating the "developing code from scratch" as bonus points rather than a strict pass/fail) and some people can find and fix bugs in a couple minutes, but are incapable of writing some basic python to iterate through prime numbers and store them in an array.
