For all practical purposes, yes. But the earth is not a perfect oblate spheroid, although it is very close. If you want to get very picky, there may be technical differences in their lengths just because of the unevenness of the earth's surface in places. Meridians that cross only or mostly water would arguably be of the shortest possible length. Those crossing mountain ranges or otherwise quite varied terrain would be technically longer.
