Yes. As was stated:

dpkg is a method for installing a single package, much like the tools in rpm.

apt-get or synaptic or aptitude are package management tools.

The way they work involves solving dependencies, as best as they can.

So in the case of installing a package called "foo" you would run:

sudo apt-get install foo

It would then see that foo requires "bar"

and install bar for you, because foo requires it.
