Yes, as assignmentmaker said -- and this is how most coaches use the term "jump stop". The problem is, that the term also refers to the "gather the ball with one foot on the floor, jump off it and land simultaneously on both" move. Here, neither foot can be the pivot.
(Note -- iirc, the term is not defined in FED rules, but is in NCAA rules -- using both definitions above.)
