No. The dump command dumps any UNIX like file system, any file system
based on inodes. The one shipped with Linux is the GNU/Free Software
Foundation dump, which apparently can only dump ext2/ext3 file systems.

It would probably be more accurate to say that most filesystems have a "dump" program that supports them. "The" dump command on Linux only supports ext2/3. ReiserFS, for example, has no dump command at all. XFS uses "xfsdump", which isn't packaged in FC5.
