yes,it works fine.
you may be confusing "\" and "Yen",because "\" and "Yen" both generate same 
character "\".

HUT1_1 says
keyboard international
	 1 = \,_
	 2 = Hiragana_Katakana toggle
	 3 = Yen,|
	 4 = Henkan
	 5 = Muhenkan
and i found my japanese ps/2 keyboards generate scancodes
    \,_ => 115
    Hiragana_Katakana togle => 112
    Yen,| => 125
    Henkan => 121
    Muhenkan => 123

this map works fine with my usbkeyboards. and
"showkey -s" says  my ps/2 keyboards and usb keyboards generate same scancode.

you could see XFree86's keyboard definition to make sure

jp106 section of "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86" means
pc scancode ->	X's keycode(scancode+8) ->	Key
115		123				<AB11>	
112		120				<HKTG>
125		133				<AE13>
121		129				<XFER>
123		131				<NFER>

and "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/sympols/jp" means
key <AB11> { [ backslash, underscore], [ kana_RO            ]       };
key <HKTG> { [ Hiragana_Katakana,Romaji     ]       };
key <AE13> { [ backslash, bar       ], [ prolongedsound     ]       };
key <XFER> { [ Henkan, Mode_switch  ]       };
key <NFER> { [ Muhenkan             ]       };
