Yes. The general rule is that adding an ordinal N to a pointer type P increases P by the size of the type this pointer points to times N. Sizeof(pbyte^) = sizeof(byte) = 1. Pointer is a special case since it's untyped (sizeof(pointer^) = 0 in the FPC), and adding an ordinal N to an untyped pointer also increases its value by N.
