yes.

In general ubuntu is not using non-standard SONAMES but sticks to
upstream's.  For this particular library, I assume that it has been
compiled with special flags making it incompatible with other distros.

you could check with the maintainer (check the changelog to find out who
touched the package last) for more information.
