YES

If no setting is defined for the database (eg. gfix -buffers 0 db) than FB
uses the setting on firebird.conf, otherwise, db setting is used.

Set a global number of pages to be used for cache of *any* database on your
server at firebird.conf. When needed, set a especific number to some db

(or if you prefer, always set especific for each db on your server)
