Well, first off, "SVGNS" should be "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" but I'll
assume you meant that in the first place.
So if this condition is fulfilled the answer to your question is: yes.
If you really meant the string "SVGNS" as namespace, then the answer is:
no, because the element is not an SVG element in that case.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/svgudom.html#svg::SVGElement.
It says that the interface represents an SVG element in the document tree.
So if you create a valid SVG element with createElementNS then it follows
that you get this interface on that element.
Please let us know shortly if this does not address your concern.
