Yes. Provided the scanner has an Infrared lamp, Vuescan can recognise dust and
scratches and retouch them. You can control how vigorously the cleaning is
done -- there are Light, Medium and Heavy options.

It works best with chromogenic negatives (C41) and Ektachrome/Fujichrome
positives. Probably useless for silver black and white negatives and Kodachrome
positives.
