Yes. The stock OEM crank pulleys do absorb some vibration. They are technically 2 pieces separated by a thin rubber "absorber". When the pulleys age (heat also seems to play a role) the pulleys can eventually separate. I have seen this too (catastrophic loss of the engine). The separation "issue" is one of the factors that drove many early EJ adopters to the single piece LWCP.
