There is no reason for it not to work.

2.1.1. Supported Architectures

Ubuntu 18.04 supports six major architectures and several variations of each architecture known as “flavors”. One other architecture (IBM/Motorola PowerPC) has an unofficial port.

Architecture  Ubuntu Designation
- Intel x86-based     i386         
- AMD64 & Intel 64    amd64        
- ARM with hardware FPU   armhf 
- 64bit ARM   arm64        
- IBM POWER Systems   ppc64el     
- IBM z/Architecture  s390x   

The command, as is traditional in Linux, does not show any output.

$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
armhf
