Not according to http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html :

        The Vorbis text comment header is the second (of
        three) header packets that begin a Vorbis bitstream.

On the other hand, http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisComment says

        VorbisComment is a base-level Metadata format
        initially created for use with Ogg Vorbis. It has
        since been adopted in the specifications of Ogg
        encapsulations for other Xiph.Org codecs including
        Theora, Speex and FLAC. 

So it seems that other codecs (including a video codec) support
similar tags. However, I do not believe that easytag supports Theora
(it does support at least FLAC) so 'audio' may still be appropriate.
