Yes, but you won't have to deal with that when generating values for 
attribute 'userPassword' based on password scheme {MD5} with the help of 
some MD5 module for your favourite programming language or the md5sum 
tool. So my answer might have been unprecise regarding crypto science 
but was meant as practical help for the original poster.

Ciao, Michael.
