In short, yes...

There are several checks that are carried out on a cycle, hour and calendar limit, whichever comes first, so obviously your cycle limit will be hit first...

{EDIT}

To clarify, there are three limits that an aircraft work to

Cycle:
One take off and landing

Hour:
Actual hours flying

Calendar:
Calendar days

You can have 3000 flights of half an hour each. This would leave you at 3000 cycles, but at 1500 hours... and so on...
