Yes.

Rsync uses the native client charset coding (ie: it doesn't change anything).
On a windows machine that is typically cp1250.

BackupPC 3.0 uses utf8 on the server and can optionally translate
to/from the client charset coding by setting $Conf{ClientCharset},
eg:

    $Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1250';

In western europe you might need to use cp1252.

Unlike rsync, samba by default converts to/from utf8, so there is
no need to have BackupPC 3.0 do any conversion for smb.
