Yes.  The asterisk indicates a list of files.  The missing colon at the
end of the line indcates that more lines for this item will follow.  You
don't use an asterisk if it is another function:

      * foo.c (usage_1, usage_2, usage)
      (help): Add help strings.

That has never worked correctly ;) The standards file doesn't tell it
explicitly, probably because the case of only new files with no function
names is rare.  However it states:

     Separate unrelated change log entries with blank lines.  When two
  entries represent parts of the same change, so that they work together,
  then don't put blank lines between them.  Then you can omit the file
  name and the asterisk when successive entries are in the same file.

At least this is my interpretation.

BTW, did anyone worked on Magit's 'C' command so work more similar to
C-x a 4 ?
