Yes, among other reasons. It was also for offerings to God, it was a place of prayer, and it was a place to come and be imbued with awareness of God, whose presence dwelt there and for whom it was built. The fundamental purpose of the Temple was to glorify the name of God.See also:

According to The Bible in Exodus 25:10, God described to Moses how to construct the ark.

In Exodus 31, God instructs Moses that Bezaleel and Aholiab will do the actual construction of the ark as described to Moses.

And in Exodus 40:21 Moses brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up a curtain covering the ark as God had commanded him.
