Yes, mono- and di-dissociation may occur, finally resulting (at high pH levels) in PO43- and 2H+.

  1. H2PO4- --> H+ + HPO42-

    eventually followed by the second step (at higher pH levels):

  2. HPO42- + OH- --> PO43- + H2O

It is ALSO a monoprotic base by accepting a proton:

H2PO4- + H+ --> H3PO4
