Yes almost as long as you include ONE more Resistor, R2 added below.
The dual cap thing does not get rid of leakage entirely, but close enough in 
most cases.
That configuration is most useful for slow open loop filters when you want 
low leakage errors.

It may be a bit of an overkill for a closed loop filters when a 10 % 
leakage would be tolerable.
I tested a 10,000 sec TC filter using a 10 meg and 1000 uF, and got under 1% 
leakage error open loop.
