Yep, looks like it.

I use

local addonName, addonTable = ...

at the top of each of my lua files and give them their own sub table for their functionality and data.

For example - if I were to have my own ButtonManager for some reason I could have something like this

addonTable.ButtonManager = {}

And then I could create addon wide functions like this

addonTable.ButtonManager.Create = function(...)
end

I still use the regular local variables and functions if no other file needs to access it.
Or global functions if I want external addons access to certain variables or functions - uniquely named of course and validated

You could simplify the addonTables accessors as follows ( using the previous example )

-- Create the files data table
addonTable.ButtonManager = {}
 
-- Simplify it
local bm = addonTable.ButtonManager
 
-- Use it
bm.Create = function(...)
end

But I only do that if it's more than 5/10 lines worth of copying and pasting of the table.
