I believe so yes. BinaryImage inherits from MonoImage and therefore from ImageBase. If we look at the ImageBase header and source...

//...
public:
    //...
    Image *GetImaqImage();
protected:
    Image *m_imaqImage;

Image *ImageBase::GetImaqImage()
{
    return m_imaqImage;
}

And then a function from BinaryImage, it's simply using that image.

int BinaryImage::GetNumberParticles()
{
    int numParticles = 0;
    int success = imaqCountParticles(m_imaqImage, 1, &numParticles);
    wpi_setImaqErrorWithContext(success, "Error counting particles");
    return numParticles;
}
