yes because the difference between the 2 is the imballance that the RCD senses.....and a ramp test will tell you at what point it lets go....giving you a max value difference before it lets go.....

but dont forget that accumilated earth leakage will play a part here so you could ramp the RCD...with all final circuits/connected loads fed by that RCD on......that will take into account accumilated earth leakage the higher they are...the lower your ramp should be
