Yes. I also posted above the informations and tables (not up to date) concerning the A332. CG is constantly moving forward, aft by this margin at cruise, providing fuel transfer is taking place. If the THS tank is full, but target CG can't be achieved (possible AF447 case), then no such transfer is taking place until later during the flight.
