Yes, I think so. It reads CSV, but it must be comma separated.
Best read with .csvt file, see
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_csv.html

 "Limited type recognition can be done for Integer, Real and String
  columns through a descriptive file with same name as the CSV file, but
  .csvt extension. In a single line the types for each column have to be
  listed: double quoted and comma separated (e.g.,
  "Integer","String"). The driver will then use these types as specified
  for the csv columns.
