Yes and no. The pump does send oil through the motor and the cooling. BUT operating at such angles can cause areas to not get proper feed of oil.

Pretty much anything more than your lawnmower motor has a pump, the whole splash oiling system is pretty outdated and ineffecient for much of a motor

The group of 12-o'clockers I saw doing Motorcycle Ballet on Buells were operating with the swing arm/ oil tank all the way filled to the very top. engine warmed up, and they FILLED the oil all the way.
they ran vertical, front wheel in the air for 6 or 8 minutes at a shot.
