"X L2" defines a two-byte field.  Its value can range from x'0000' to x'ffff'.

Viewed as unsigned this is a numeric range of 0 <= u <= 65535.  Viewed
as signed it is a numeric range of -32768 <= s <= +32767.

In either case the answer to your question is yes.

In passing, let me note that the subject "Assembler" is not very informative.
