Yes, if it didn't happen during the last timed or untimed down. A false start does not happen during a down. The accepted penalty is only part of the equation. See 3-3-3, bottom of page 39.

It's misleading to describe that as "on an accepted penalty" rather than after one. An interval intervened after its enforcement.
