I think chests are counted by most things to be the same as your inventory. So I'd suspect that yes, this is a way to do it.

Also the pumpkin regains all its health when you kill the lantern. Sometimes when I'm feeling cheap and my pumpkins are getting a bit stale, I quickly craft a pumpkin lantern, then kill it. Bingo, pumpkin is back to being as good as new! A bit lame, but it's probably the only time I ever bother making these things - every time I leave one on the ground I either forget about it (and I lose the pumpkin AND the fireflies), or I accidentally hit it with something (at least this doesn't destroy the fireflies).
