Yes

If I am twice as heavy as you the ratio of our weights is $2 : 1$ $2:1$ whether you weigh me in pounds, kilograms or anything else.

If I am $100 kg$ $"100 kg"$ and you are $50 kg$ $"50 kg"$ , the ratio is $100 : 50 = 2 : 1$ $100:50 = 2:1$

If I am $220 lb$ $"220 lb"$ and you are $110 lb$ $"110 lb"$ , the ratio is $220 : 110 = 2 : 1$ $220:110 = 2:1$

$(100 kg = 220 lb, 50 kg = 110 lb)$ $("100 kg = 220 lb, 50 kg = 110 lb")$
