Yep, and the example given is exactly what happened tonight, except the runner did not cross the plate before the 3rd out was recorded.
I believe this is an approved ruling from rule 5.08(b).

APPROVED RULING: One out, Jones on third, Smith on
first, and Brown flies out to right field. Two outs. Jones
tags up and scores after the catch. Smith attempted to
return to first but the right fielder’s throw beat him to the
base. Three outs. But Jones scored before the throw to
catch Smith reached first base, hence Jones’ run counts.
It was not a force play.
