Of course. The hack is not really to the RAM expansion but to the A500 motherboard.

But it only works if you have a 1Mbyte Agnus chip (naturally). If you do not have one, in addition to the modification to the motherboard you'll also have to buy a new Agnus chip.

Which is the difference beetween ChipMem and OtherMem?
ChipMem can be accessed by the gfx and sfx chips without intervention with the CPU. Slowmem cannot be accessed by the chips it is called slow because CPU access to it is at the same speed as if it were ChipRAM in terms contention. Fast RAM can only be accessed by the CPU and it is fast because it has no contention, nothing else trying to access it.
