No,

Ex1: << { \A } \\ { \B } >>

creates TWO new voices, which get you into problems when doing \lyricsto,
where 

Ex2: << { \voiceOne \a } \new Voice { \voiceTwo \b } >> \oneVoice

only creates ONE new voice, \a "belongs" to the same voice as the surronding 
music.

Ex1 is a dead end, nice for simple notes, everewhere else you have to do 
Ex2.
