Yes, that's why the 2 'scroll' directions are buttons 4 & 5.

You should also check that the device line points to the usb device not the
ps/2 device.
Here is what it may look like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
Not:
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
