Something along those lines, yes.

This is a two-stage process. For examples see:

 /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-pda.fdi

followed by:

 /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-acl-management.fdi

The first looks at varying information in HAL (such as the driver
being the ipaq driver, the USB vendor/product ids, and then adds
the 'pda' capability to the device. The second file then adds ACL
management to any device with 'pda' capabilities.

So, you'd want to use whatever criteria you're using in udev to
set a capability on the device, and then add the stanza to only
apply ACLs to devices with that capability. (Depending on the
criteria you're using in udev, you might be able to craft the
match without adding a property.)
