Pretty much. Here is an example that I have used in the past

clearpart --all
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=250 --asprimary
part swap --size=4096
part pv.39 --size=100 --grow
volgroup vg00 pv.39
logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=lvol03 --vgname=vg00 --size=1024
logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=lvol02 --vgname=vg00 --size=1024
logvol /usr --fstype ext3 --name=lvol01 --vgname=vg00 --size=6144
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=lvol00 --vgname=vg00 --size=1024
logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=lvol04 --vgname=vg00 --size=1024
