Yes, definitely.
Hibernate actually saves what you are working on, onto the hard disk drive of your computer. Then it shuts down the computer.
Standby just holds the information and shuts power to some of the peripherals (monitor, hard drive, network card, etc) and thus is using less power. You could lose some info if you suffer a power failure and have no battery backup (UPS on a desktop or batteries in a laptop).
