Yes. :-)


Outdoor scenes could probably go with very low settings, even as low as 
"half a bounce" [*], but even then it does make a difference.

[* by this I mean that a lot of computations could be left out even from 
single-bounce radiosity, to produce an effect akin to ambient occlusion; 
unfortunately that's a quality setting not available in POV-Ray at present.]

IMO (no H there ;-)) radiosity is an absolute /must/ for any indoor 
scene trying for a realistic look.
