Short answer: yes.
The brachialis and especially the brachioradialis function as elbow flexors in semi-supination.
The isometric radial deviation during hammer curls is hardly a forearm workout so that's irrelevant.
Long answer: no, not exactly. The relative and absolute load is different.

I said it was a forearm workout because of the forearm muscles that work to flex the elbow, but the forearm muscles that radially deviate the wrist are largely irrelevant.Really? Hammer Curls are listed here as a forearm exercise.
No, I didn't mean the biceps.The brachialis is active during all elbow flexion movements since it attaches to the ulna, which doesn't affect its length in either pronation or supination (since the radius is the bone which does the moving while the ulna stays fixed). I think you mean to say biceps brachii, which attaches to the tuberosity of the radius and the biceps aponurosis and is an elbow flexor and assists in supination of the forearm.
Best forearm work, hands-down: cleans.
