No. "~ is a hyphen where hyphenation is actually prohibitted. No

In Latex and so inside ERT (which AFAI can tell is what we're still
talking about), a ~ means a non-breaking space (and shows up as such
when used inside ERT in LyX),

You're both right :) (n)german.sty rsp. the (n)german setting of babel.sty provide an additional set of (IMO very hand) commands all starting with »"«, e.g.
 "a -> ä
 "s -> ß
 "~ -> hyphen where no break is allowed
 "= -> hyphen which allows hyphenation in the rest of the word

Unfortunately those work only for german texts. FYI, the relevant parts from germanb.ldf:
