 Yes.  But note the '1800 lbs.', and note the assumption that the airspeed is
at standard temp and pressure, i.e. density altitude indicated airspeed.
 With an AOA you just watch the marked angle --usually in degrees.  The stall
ANGLE doesn't change.
    You don't have to be thinking '... what do I weigh now?", or "what's the
true airspeed', or "'what's the G-meter say this instant', and '... is my CG
aft or forward?.." and so on.
 ANGLE is such simple, cheap safety.
