Yes.
If the numbers come back in one range the dog most likely has a large shunt.
If the numbers come back in the normal range they could have MVD.
If the bile acids are high and either a large shunt or MVD is suspected, this will help distinguish which one...
Of course, like any test, it isn't 100% accurate.
