Sorry about the "hijack part". Looked at first glance like another person + topic.

Yes. The bridge is handling this part - not batman-adv. Just make sure that you don't have any IP conflicts. So, for example eth0 + bat0 + underlying interfaces for bat0 should most likely have no IP address assigned - unless you know what you are doing and need it for debugging (or similar things).
