Yes, but --

>From that page:

    Apart from AFS and channel skipping techniques Bluetooth
    coexistence is typically tested with bundled 802.11 and Bluetooth
    devices. This becomes more evident with 2-wire and 3-wire which
    relies on GPIO pins for signaling.

In other words, the devices have to be in the same system so that the
802.11 device can tell the BT device to stop transmitting by asserting
some signals on the shared lines.  This is how I understand ath9k's bt
coex to work, at least.
