Absolutely. Think about it like this.

Concentration is in moles per liter.

Well you have a fixed amount (moles) of acid and you are adding more liters so that will cause the concentration to go down because you are increasing the liters (denominator).

A buffer will influence the concentration of acid or base in a solution. Buffers will diminish the effect of either acid or base in a given solution.

If that answers your question.
