It does, in all codes.

BTW, in a discussion at Coach Huey's, I worked out the quickest combination of snapping the ball and returning the ball to the snapper's possession that I think would work in Fed rules. The snapper would do a spin with the ball akin to that of the QB in the fly (jet) series. This would accomplish a quick and continuous motion of the ball backwards. When the snapper had spun thru 180 degrees, the ball would be taken by a back who would immediately hand it back to the snapper, who could continue his spin.
