Yes indeed it does - It was an important factor in my decision to buy it
as I have never been able to get the mic on my headphones working.  The
mic is not always enabled for some reason but I put that down to Ubuntu
being a bit fickle. It's easily enabled on the input tab of Sound
Preferences.

I bought two of them because it wasn't worth paying the carriage on just
one.  My wife uses the other one for her Windows Laptop.
