Yes it will work, until you use something that relies on Java.

If you need anything that uses Java you must install the 64bit version
of Java. The Java download site will by default offer the 32bit
version so you must take additional steps to get the 64bit version.
Once the 64bit version of Java is installed Octave will automatically
find it.
