Yes. And if you are hoping to post a lot of video you should totally use Peertube instead of Mastodon.
Hosting video is really expensive for the host and hard on the servers.
Peertube shares the bandwidth between the people watching in a peer to peer bit-torrent-ish way. Making the server resources needed quite a lot lower.
I started my own Peertube instance separately to my Mastodon instance because of that.
It's a massive cost-saving for hosting video, and the savings are bigger the more popular it is.
