Yes, since the cron script automatically runs as root on a repeating schedule.
If you want to see what it does:
mkdir junk
cd junk
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
ar x google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
tar xf data.tar.xz
cat opt/google/chrome/cron/google-chrome
