Yes...

You will need to meter the whole setup together where multiple lights hit a given area. Otherwise, you risk having a major over-exposure in the overlap area. I suppose you COULD meter the lights individually and then add up the exposure... but that seems like the hard way to me.

In areas where only a single light hits, you can meter just the light source.

But pointing the meter dome at the light isn't the usual procedure. Point the dome at the camera, and let the dome handle picking up the light. Otherwise, it wouldn't need to be a dome... but whaddo I know...
