It depends. 'Lacquer thinner' is a mix of different solvents, and even if the can or bottle is labeled as such, there's no standard blend and no two brands are necessarily alike. The types and percentages of solvents are different from brand to brand. The best answer is 'usually', but acetone is generally a better choice.
One good tip is to try small amounts of the products involved before diving into a bigger project, it'll tend to save you aggravation and money in the long run.
