Yes, usually.  

One remarkable exception to this rule-of-thumb are the "Somos Sequences"
  http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SomosSequence.html


BTW along with the "rescues" mentioned above, for rational sequences there's
also often the possibility of submitting both the numerator and denominator
sequences.  

Of course that doesn't help if there are values such as "infinity" or "?"
(perhaps such as a(4) in A001676?).  Or worse, "coffee cup" as in A193616!
