In short: Yes (in both theory and practice).
But I think your point about PYOB raises another issue and perhaps that is the one that I am really grappling with ! Would I have to disembark and re-embark if I have two separate BPs (because in some places there is no transit facility and immigration can be a REALLY slow process) ??? I suppose that ultimately that depends how the ground staff at the stopover point deal with things.
