Confirmed. I do this without Samba (it's not installed on the host). 
Here is my configuration, the same approach for nearly 6 years now.

[knew dan ~] % cat /usr/local/etc/afp.conf

[Global]
vol preset = default_for_all_vol
log file = /var/log/netatalk.log
log level = default:warn

hosts allow = [redacted]
mimic model = TimeCapsule6,116

[default_for_all_vol]
cnid scheme = dbd
ea = ad

[dvl-air01]
path = /data/time_capsule/dvl-air01
valid users = dvl-air01
time machine = yes
#vol size limit = 950000

[dvl-pro02]
path = /data/time_capsule/dvl-pro02
valid users = dvl-pro02
time machine = yes

[dvl-dent]
path = /data/time_capsule/dvl-dent
valid users = dvl-dent
time machine = yes

[dvl-dent-sparse]
path = /data/time_capsule/dvl-dent-sparse
valid users = dvl-dent
time machine = yes
