Yes.

You can feed a backup history file name to pg_archivecleanup, it will
then reuse the prefix of this file name. archive_cleanup_command is
part of recovery.conf, which gets loaded by the server at the
beginning of recovery by the startup process, so the command will get
executed continuously on a standby.
