it may not in and of it's own allow it. for example if you have iptables setup to drop ssh packets having an entry in hosts.allow is pretty useless. however it will stop (hosts.deny) ssh connections on its own from my experience which is admittedly light, there may be ways around it but i found trying to connect through a denied host just saw the connection break immediately. ymmv.
