Yes.

In fact, you just reminded me that I bought a USB-c cable to back up
my phone's images.  Plugged it in, set the Pixel 7 pro to "data" (ptp),
and it appeared in the File Manager.

I'm running an rsync now.  To do that, you have to know where the mount
is, which is under /run/user.  (It's in the gvfs directory, being a gvfs
mount.)
