I'm sure it can, but not that way!
As I understand it, blocks like this ....
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\marginpar{\color{red} \tiny \raggedright
\vspace{18pt}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam
nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat
volutpat.}
#+END_LaTeX
work where they are and not file-wide.
For file-wide instructions you need to put 'em in
#+LATEX_HEADER lines.
Exactly how to do that will depend on the precise contents of
filestyle.sty.
