Yes and no. If your project calendar is customized to have a non-standard workweek, then you can set the Timescale display to show Gantt bars that show work per the custom calendar. But if the custom calendar only applies to selected tasks, then Project limits the Gantt Timescale display to only show one calendar's workweek. The option is set via double clicking on the timescale to bring up the Timescale window and clicking on the "Non-working time" tab. Set the appropriate calendar.
Note, for a normal Standard calendar display you can also set the option to show non-working time in front of Gantt Bars. That addresses the issue of Gantt Bars appearing as "active" during non-working time.
Hope this helps.
