Yes it does, although there is a big caveat:
The work of rendering the image is only divided one time, when you start the render.  With 4 cores and 4 threads, the work is split into 4 quads of your frame.  This means if you have very complex stuff in one corner, and very simple stuff in the other 3 corners, then the 3 easy corners of the frame will finish rendering very quickly; but the complex part can take much longer, and will only use 1 core/1 thread.  In the meantime you cannot do anything with Poser except watch it render, although you do have lots of spare processor time to play a game or surf the web or whatever.
