Yes, but usually when people say "dim" they really mean "dim7", which would
add a Bb to that.
As someone earlier alluded, a cool thing about a diminished 7th chord is
that all four notes are the same interval (minor 3rd) from each other.
Thus, each diminished 7th chord is really four diminished 7th chords (i.e.,
C#dim7 has the same notes as Edim7, Gdim7, and Bbdim7).
