Yes.

If you read the "Key Bindings" section in the Emacs manual (which
again, I think provides a better first introduction than the Elisp
manual), it gives clear examples of the vector syntax ("Rebinding Keys
in Your Init File"). It has C- and M-, it just doesn't mention S-,
AFAICS. C- and M- are explained right at the start of the manual
("2 Kinds of User Input").
