Yes, if your dash supports separate left & right indicator lights, you'll want to wire the left indicator up to the left front turn signal circuit. And same for the right.

The reason for them sharing the connections with the front (as opposed to the rear) turn signals is because the rear ones also serve as brake lights. If you were to tie the dash indicator lights in with the rear turn signals, the dash indicators would come on with the brake lights.
