Of course, but Newton's Three Laws [the second is the one that would include friction and the first covers inertia] apply at all times to all moving objects [and even stationary objects]. I just use this demonstration to emphasize one part of Newton's First Law because it illustrates it particularly well.

There is more to this demonstration than just Newton's 1st law though. The trick depends more on friction than inertia!
