Not quite.

BIAB as provided cannot have a chord on the and of beat four, and also on the downbeat of the next measure (assuming 4/4).

But there are workarounds. Third party styles such as by Norton Music will do this, and you can do it yourself if you change the time, time base and / or style, to make what was in one measure into two.
