From what I've read, YES.
OK, so I had a look at a couple of 16GB devices I recently set up for a client, a 16GB iPod touch and a 16GB iPad Mini 2. Through our management console I can see that they have 12.1 and 12.0GB of available storage, minus about 2.1GB used which consists of our managed software which we push onto the device (Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.), leaving about 9.8GB left on each device.
Also Apple uses the silly 16,000,000,000 = 16GB when speccing out the storage but uses the 1024^3 calculation when showing free RAM, so you really only get 14.9 GB to start…
