I'd imagine so.

I know that if you score a TD in NCAA where the line to gain isn't the goal line, you get credit for the first down as well. i.e., if it's 3rd and Goal and you get a TD you don't because the Goal was the line to gain. If it's 3rd and 2 from the 5 and you score, you get 6 and a statistical 1st down.
