What do you mean by "OK"? What are you trying to prevent?

As I read your question, it seems self-evident that the answer is yes, but
that may be because one my assumptions is wrong. I'm assuming:

1) By "ok" you mean from a security standpoint.

2) You know the .pem file is safe to distribute.

3) You produced the .der file from just the .pem file, just as anyone else
could.

So the question is either trivial or there's a subtlety that's not coming
across.
