There is no reason for it not to work.

2.1.1. Supported Architectures

Ubuntu 18.04 supports six major architectures and several variations of each architecture known as “flavors”. One other architecture (IBM/Motorola PowerPC) has an unofficial port.

Architecture Ubuntu Designation
- Intel x86-based i386
- AMD64 & Intel 64 amd64
- ARM with hardware FPU armhf
- 64bit ARM arm64
- IBM POWER Systems ppc64el
- IBM z/Architecture s390x 

The command, as is traditional in Linux, does not show any output.

$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
armhf
