Yes. As long as the phase III nodes are in the same area.
It is pretty obvious and straight forward. Phase III nodes can talk to 
III or IV nodes in the same area only, as they do not explicitly say 
anything about the area. Ph IV routers will route III packets just fine 
within an area. Obviously, a ph III node can only address nodes with 
number < 256.
