Technically, no.
However, in this context, yes.
It wouldn't actually save energy, but it can lower the amount if energy needed to do a task. For example, if you insulate your house well, you would not need to heat/cool is as aggressively because the hot/cold air would not pass through the walls to the outside air nearly as easily as a house that has no or poor insulation.

it depends on the r-value of the insulation and the area or temperature range of the climate it is to be installed
Insulation helps to keep heat inside a house, meaning as less heats escapes there is no need to heat the house up, normally by Central Heating, therefore saving energy.

The critical radius of insulation is a counterintuitive concept within the study of heat transfer.
it is a good thing i think R Value is the thermal resistance of a given material. The higher the R Value the more thermal resistance and the better the insulation. So, an R48 roof system is warmer than an R32 roof system. All insulation materials are rated by their R Value. An inch of rigid insulation has a higher R Value than an inch of fiberglass insulation. Check with the insulation manufacturer for the R Value.
