BQ24071: Vin is 5V, can this chip be used?

Part Number: BQ24071
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24070,

It looks like for Vin=5V, the BQ24070 would have been more appropriate.  looking at the data sheet, if Vin < Vout_reg, then Vin is connected to Vout through a PFET. 

Does that mean, if we use a BQ24071 (more available) with an input voltage of 5 volts, our Vout will be Vin minus some drop from the PFET?
