Yes it can. Any exchanges that provide a deposit address.

Do you know why one of the comments suggested converting to ETH is/was superior? Do you know how much processing time your suggestion takes, is it instant transfer?

Based on readings, one should be careful transfering ETH between exchanges as some exchanges seem to send the money as smart contracts and other exchanges seem not to be able to receive from contracts, only wallet addresses.   I *believe* I first read this in context of Cryptopia but seems it is not an uncommon issue amongst numerous exchanges.
Advice was to thoroughly verify first or just don't move from exchg to exchg.  Move from exch to a personal wallet and then wallet to an exchange instead.

Kraken BTC -> ETH -> Poloniex ETH -> BTC
That's the fastest and cheap way.
