Yes. That option only affects whether some of the photos on your iPhone may be smaller optimized versions. See the following from Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photos keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
