well.. sure, if you want to get technical
yes, its the same in a DSLR, the mirror places the image onto the sensor. Which is why in most digital SLR cameras (i won't say all, because i dont know if there is one where you can), you cannot look at the screen to pose your shot before hand like you can with a point and shoot, you have to look through the view finder.
