Yes, when there is just one condition.

Are you sure? log_message text is supposed to be written to the log only when
an ACL verb denies access, or if all conditions of a warn statement are true
(but since you put log_message after the condition, it won't be reached in
that case; processing of a statement stops as soon as the outcome is known.)
