Yes, and you can use the filter option on the right to choose which
kind of objects you are interested in.

Oh, and while we are nitpicking, you always only see the position of
nodes. If a way has very long segments between two nodes, you will not
see a line, but just the end nodes. This will sometimes look odd. Thats
why there are those strange dots in Antarctica for the coastline:
