In a word "yes". CloudSolrClient figures out what shard each document belongs on and sends the doc directly to the shard leader. If you use the client.add(docList) format it sends sub-lists consisting of the documents for each shard to the correct shard leader in parallel by default.
Plus, CloudSolrClient will be aware of the status of the collection and compensate whenever nodes go up/down so you don't have to worry about that kind of error handling in your client. I'm assuming you're using 4.x, CloudSolrServer has been renamed CloudSolrClient in 5x and beyond.
