Right above those lines you would have seen:
# Turn off swap, then unmount file systems.
echo "Turning off swap"
swapoff -a
echo "Unmounting file systems"
umount -a
mount -n -o remount,ro /
echo "Remounting remaining filesystems (if any) readonly"
mount | awk '/ext2/ { print $3 }' | while read line; do
mount -n -o ro,remount $line
done
Your filesystems are mounted read-only already.
So yes.
