Very likely. The 19th century did _not_ invent the slashed grace note notation, only the convention that a slashed grace note represents an 'acciaccatura' or 'short appoggiatura', while an unslashed one represents a 'long appoggiatura'. A slashed quaver grace note in Haydn means exactly the same as an unslashed semiquaver one; the performer must decide from the context whether 'long' or 'short' is intended.
