No.

What does work is routing the master output bus to JAMin, then writing
its output back to another (stereo) track.

JAMin does declare its output latency, though I am not sure it works
correctly.  I'm not even sure what total latency JACK reports, given
the likelyhood of there being multiple JAMin output paths.  

There is an extra cycle delay when wrapping its output back to another
ardour track (as described above) due to introducing a "loop" in the
process graph.  AFAICT, no one accounts for that extra cycle of
latency.  JAMin doesn't even know about it.
