Yes, this is correct, and even used in two of the upcomming sets next year.
Look at the headlights of the tiny truck, 42084 and on the trash compactor, 42071
However, the two bricks, 87087 and 6541, differ in the position of the technic pin hole and the side stud by 0.1 mm.
Read more here (point 4.3), or make a test assembly in LDD.
The only true connection I know of is the backside of the headlight brick and the taller "Piece of Resistance", 15444.dat
