Yes. Basically the same as a DVD drive, you can set the Region and change it up to 5 times(IIRC) before it it Region locked.

Or get yourself slysoft's AnyDVD, works with Blu-Ray and standard DVDs, and strips the regional coding. A bit pricey, but if have DVDs/Blu-Rays from different regions, it's worth every cent.
