If I make a rule "when mouse position..." will it act the same as touch when the app is released?

So I was watching a tutorial about multiscreen menus by our beloved Tshirt booth. And he said to make a rule like this: when actor recieves event, mouse button, is down... change attribute self.position.x to game.mouse.position.x" I understand what this does. But would it work if i used this rule on an iphone? I'm not saying in the editor for the iphone app, i mean in the actual app, once it's released.
Thanks
