Yes. The differences that make a cue a snooker cue do not disqualify the cue from being used within the APA formats. Those differences are:
1) Smaller tip diameter (typically 6 - 9 mm vs 10 - 14 mm),
2) shorter length (typically 56 - 57" vs 58 - 60"),
3) lighter weight (typically 15 - 17 oz vs 17 to 22 oz), and
4) material (typically ash vs maple).
If you'd like some advice from someone who is both a pool and a snooker player; The cues are not interchangeable. That is because snooker balls are smaller and lighter than pool balls and the thinner, lighter snooker cue cannot propel a regular cue ball as effectively. Conversely, using a regular cue to play snooker doesn't work very well either because the thicker, heavier cue over-powers the smaller, lighter snooker cue ball.

I have seen numerous players play pool with a snooker cue and play well... not the opposite though. One that comes to mind is Euro player Steve Davis. He has been a member of the Euro Mosconi Cup team for 11 years and has also lead his team to victory a couple of those times.
He is also a snooker player mind you.
