Yes.  Symbols with the same refdes are the same component.

You won't be able to edit them separately if you do; you'd have ONE
symbol that just LOOKS like four, and you wouldn't be able to change the
slots indepednently.

Sure, but that would be ONE symbol that happens to reflect all ten
resistors, not ten slotted symbols that happen to be in one file.
