No.

This is retrieving the attribute called "answer" on the answer_list
template variable (and failing silently when that attribute turns out
not to exist). It is not looking up the attribute whose name is stored
in the "answer" template variable, which is what you are expecting to
happen, based on your question. Django's templating language doesn't
work like that (specifically, you cannot do indirect variable
references).
In your particular case, the easiest solution would probably be to
retrieve both the key and value at the same time in the dictionary
iteration. So replace your for-loop with
{% for answer,value in answers_list.items %}
