Yes, if the browsers can read your intentions through your
source-code/CSS, and agree on what it says.

Basically: yes. However, all my browsers move the divs around when I do
a little window-resizing and/or some font-resizing, and the
background-images naturally moves with them.
OTOH: body is "standing still" (within reason :-) ) so that element is a
bit more predictable. An outer wrapper just inside body will also be
"standing still" if you style it to, so adding one or more of those is
an alternative if you really need to add multiple background-images with
a bit of position-predictability.
So, apart from a few browser-bugs, you get the line-up you design for,
with all the variables your design meets at the User-end - that you also
have to take into account if you want your design to survive in an
acceptable way.
Plenty of variables in web design. That's part of what makes web design
such a fun - and sometimes funny - activity.
