Yes. And I believe this is a requirement from the ONFI 2.1 spec:

"""
4.1.4.3. Source Synchronous to Asynchronous
[..]

The host shall transition to the asynchronous data interface. Then the
host shall issue the Reset (FFh) command described in the previous paragraph
using asynchronous timing mode 0, thus the host transitions to the asynchronous
data interface prior to issuing the Reset (FFh). A device in any timing mode is
required to recognize a Reset (FFh) command issued in asynchronous timing
mode 0.

[..]

After CE# has been pulled high and then transitioned low again, the host
should issue a Set Features to select the appropriate asynchronous timing mode.
