Yes.
However, it should be noted that while Jordan occupied the West Bank from 1949-1967, it had no legitimate rights to that land. Less than five nations recognized the validity of the Jordanian occupation. Therefore the "its" in the question is inaccurate. Jordan lost "the" West Bank, but not "its" West Bank.

The Jordan River. There is a small part of the Jordan River north of the West Bank that was part of the Israeli-Jordanian border.

Prior to that war the West Bank was part of Jordan & Jerusalem was a divided city. The Jordan River forms a large part of that international boundary (between Israel-West Bank and Jordan. South of the Dead Sea, the Israeli-Jordanian border follows the Wadi Arabah valley.
Was Israel the aggressor in the conquest of the West Bank in 1967?
No. Jordan was the aggressor in 1967, in that theatre of the war. On June 5, 1967, Israel preemptively attacked Egypt and Prime Minister Eshkol sent a message to King Hussein of Jordan explicitly asking him to stay out of the conflict so that Israel could concentrate its attack on Egypt. On June 6, Jordanian radar picked up Israeli fighter jets over Egyptian airspace returning to Israel. Egyptian President Nasser wanted Jordanian involvement so that Israel would have to fight a war on two fronts and communicated to King Hussein that the jets were Egyptian on a victory invasion of Israel. As a result, on June 7th, Jordan began to shell West Jerusalem from the West Bank, resulting in an Israeli invasion of the West Bank later that day. So, while Israel was the aggressor with respect to the Gaza Strip occupation, Jordan was the aggressor with respect to the West Bank Occupation.
