Not exactly, but close. 'List-style type' would have no effect when set on the marker itself. It is something you set on an item that has 'display:list-item', not on the marker of that list item. So it would be more like this:

LI {  list-style-type: circle; }
LI::marker { content: "#";  /* this one overrides the circle */ }
