If your PS3 is NTSC 20GB, 60GB or 80GB - yes. If you have 40GB (region doesn't matter) - no.
Note: there are two NTSC regions: NTSC U/C (North America) and NTSC J (Japan, etc.). It's written on the cover of the game.

Option 3.2 on Wiki

Backward compatibility
See also: List of PS3 backwards incompatible PS2 and Playstation games
Sony stated that every PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game that observes its respective system's TRC (Technical Requirements Checklist) would be playable on PS3 at launch. SCE president Ken Kutaragi asked developers to adhere to the TRC to facilitate compatibility with future PlayStations, stating that the company was having some difficulty getting backward compatibility with games that had not followed the TRCs. Initial NTSC PS3 units include the CPU/rasterizer combination chip used in the slim PS2 (EE+GS) to achieve backward compatibility.[102] The backward compatibility function is region-locked.[103]

Initially, at launch, approximately 3% of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles had minor compatibility issues, including poor audio, system freezes or controller malfunctions.[104] Popular games reported to have these glitches included Tekken 5 and Gran Turismo 4.[105] Many games had also been reported to have problems with garbled or unreadable text on-screen and generally blurry image quality, but the January 24, 2007 software release, which updated the system to version 1.50, has fully resolved this issue.[106]
