Yes.

Each router will establish a flow in teh flow-cache for this traffic, and 
each router will count the octets that flow through. The results should be 
identical.

BTW - you could export from both routers to a single collector. You could 
differentiate them by running two separate instances of flow-capture using 
diferrent ports. Or you could export to the same device, same port, and 
differentiate by 'exporter'.
