Sure, but the page information becomes useless if the reader does not have the exact same edition. Providing other location information like chapter/section/paragraph numbers should be safer, and work even for translations. And with ebooks that can be text-searched, are precise locations really needed?
But the reference markers for citations, even if they are the page numbers from a particular printed version, need not coincide with the virtual "page" numbers that the user is actually seeing while reading the book.
