Not quite, enough to pick up an item on the near side, not the far side.
Here's a valiant attempt shown below.

Still can fail.

If inserters are opposite each other one can starve the other while it's trying to self start.

Additionally, a fast or express belt will cause a burner insert to miss (as already reported), which can also cause the self start to fail.
