You'll want to read the recommendations and caveats on the wiki: <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Subrepository#Recommendations>
I hoped the answer is "yes".
I'm quite sure TortoiseHg adds it automatically. If it is not in the 
main repo, I don't understand how hg knows which revision of the 
sub-repos have to be used when pulling/updating.

I use big libraries (boost and others) in my project. I don't want these 
libraries to be added to my main repo. So I decided to use sub-repositories.
