Yes it can. You can bleed the system by filling it. Then run the vehicle to normal operating temp and turn your wheels side to side slowly. Check your level as it may drop during this process and add more as necessary. Eventually there will be no more air bubbles in the fluid.

Why is it important to be sure that there is no air in the steering gear system?
All cars with Power Steering use a hydraulic system. This means that is uses oil compressed by a pump to push a cylinder, or gear box mechanism to turn the rack on the car. If there is air in said system, the air will compress instead of the oil being pushed, thus resulting a delayed, or soft steering situation It can be dangerous to drive a car with air in the power steering pump assembly. It may fail and cause the car to steer out of control.
