Yes. Copying trees is, by design, a legal way to branch.

AIUI, "bzr branch" will be a facility for branching trees in place. It
would make it possible to use a single tree as the head for several
branches and would be tied to a "bzr switch" command to switch the
current revision and versioned files between named branches.

Essentially, that would be just a UI feature and a storage optimisation.
