No. Run `M-x org-lint RET' and you will see that this is malformed. The
org code needs to be escaped.

Edit the src block in an edit buffer. You'll need to kill the contents of
that src block first, then C-c ' to open the src edit buffer, then yank, then C-c '
again. The resulting buffer will be properly escaped.
See (info "(org) Literal examples"), especially footnote 4.

Then specify `:results replace' to override `:results silent' which
`org-babel-default-header-args:org' sets.
--
Then the export should be what you expect.
HTH,
