Absolutely, in Magic The Gathering, when you sacrifice a creature, it's considered dying. This triggers any abilities that activate 'when a creature dies'. So, if you've got something that buzzes off creatures biting the dust, sacrificing your own can give you some sweet, sweet benefits!

Nah, think of it more like sending your creatures on a very permanent vacation... to the graveyard. But yeah, mechanically speaking, 'sacrificing' in MTG equals 'dying' for the purpose of triggering effects.
