Technically yes but not in the same way that I can with my Touch Bar since it's completely visual which would not be the case with the trackpad. I also switch tabs in Safari on the Touch Bar and do plenty of other things that are all just quicker and faster with the Touch Bar. On top of that, it's not like I lost the trackpad by having the Touch Bar so I could still do it the way you're describing, if I was inclined to do so.
