Yes and no. It's not strictly speaking correct but in French a diaeresis above a vowel means it's separate from the preceding one. Think about the car maker Citroën, "Sit-roh-en" rather than "Sit-rohn".
So if you squint a bit it describes the noise the word makes accurately but it's not how you'd write it in English.
