Yes, the ICOCA is good for the Kyoto subway and bus.

The local buses do not accept ICOCA, so you need to pay cash. For travelling on Kyoto buses, if you foresee taking 3 or more bus rides in a single day, then get the 1 day bus pass which costs 500Yen.

ICOCA (and other stored value cards like Suica etc) are accepted on subways though.
