Yes.

This is ok. "im-config" package deals with such an IM framework selection.
When ibus and uim are both installed, ibus is preferred and used by default.
(The selection can be changed by user choice.)
Then no input method in ibus framework is currently installed,
so its user cannot type Japanese text out of the box.
