Yes. The EventArgs object is available inside the Action script block as a magical variable called $Event. This is what get-help Register-ObjectEvent -detail has to say:

From the MSDN documentation:

The value of the Action parameter can include the $Event, $EventSubscriber, $Sender, $SourceEventArgs, and $SourceArgs automatic variables, which provide information about the event to the Action script block. For more information, see about_Automatic_Variables.
