Yes, although if you have snapshots, you may not recover very much space, as [some of] the data on the subvolume may still be in use by other snapshots. > Will space be immediately available to other data like other > subvolumes? No, subvolume deletion is done in the background, and the space recovered will be returned for use relatively slowly. This is because the FS has to go through the metadata, updating reference counts for each extent in the subvolume to work out whether the space can be recovered or not.
