Absolutely, sacrificing a creature in MTG is considered the same as that creature dying. So, any effects that trigger upon death will also trigger when you sacrifice a creature. Clever deck builders use this to their advantage!

Quick answer: Yes, sacrifice = death in MTG. Great for death triggers!
