Yes. It is also referred to as "Fixed Interval" because it's a formula (never changes).
For instance I'll use these abbreviations to explain a few of the most popular formulas starting from the Root Note. w(whole step), h(half step), w+h(whole+half step). The distance from root note; w= 2 frets, h= 1 fret,
w+h= 3 frets
Major Scale (AKA Ionion mode) Intervals = distance from the Root
w-w-h-w-w-w-h (you can do this on a single string and follow those steps from the first note pressed down and the rest of the notes hit are it's major scale.
Natural Minor Scale (AKA Aeolian mode) w-h-w-w-h-w-w (this formula makes the same note used for the Major scale become a minor scale because of the first half step lowers the third interval a half step back (Flattened)
Major Pentatonic Scale w-w-(w+h)-w-(w+h)
Minor Pentatonic scale (w+h)-w-w-(w+h)-w
