I would say yes, however watch for the years. (~97 had 2 piece lights)

Default And '96, '97 and early '98 (US-spec) had the Audi "footbal" logo on the front quarter-panel...

With a molded indent where the badge was located.

Default i had an early 98 and it did not have the side badge...

...though from this picture, that will be tough to tell.

Also, the older fenders had a small square shaped side turn signal, not the rectangle one that came in the rest of the changes.

I think they changed the door handles in late 98 and the rear tail lamps (moved the reverse down to the 3rd row, and made the second row the turn signal), basically changed everything to how it would end for the B5.

Default late 98 was still the old style handles and 2-piece lights.

which, of course, means still the old-style fenders.

things changed sometime w/ 99 MY to 1-piece and the tailight changes you mention.

Default Really?

I thought early production '98s, i.e. non-"98.5" in AW speak, still had the fender mounted badges a la '96 and '97 model years?
