Yes that's how patching works certainly using the patchwiz method which from your other message is what you're attempting.
PatchWiz method creates a patch using a base package & an updated package. Only what has been changed between the base package & updated package is included. Note it's methods of determining whether a file is changed depend on whether the file has versioning information or not. If it does, it'll look at the versions & if they're higher in the updated package it'll include it for patching. If the file doesn't have versioning information it'll fail over to using timestamps. It doesn't do anything clever like diff'ing the files to see if they've changed as people often assume.

Only those with altered change data should be overwritten. Is this possible?
