Yes. It's especially useful for making large sectional structure in a
text file — for example, program source code — that can then be easily
navigated “by page” with a text editor like Emacs or Vim.

Since it's a standard white space character by definition, it can go
anywhere that white space can go; and yet it acts to signal structure
within the file.
