Yes.

And if you intend to submit your changes to the Buildroot project, the
best way.

If you intend to keep your changes private (because they are
proprietary or some other reason) -
Then you best choice is to put them in the BR2_EXTERNAL tree.

That leaves the project tree un-modified (easier to get support for
any problems with that part) and your "private" additions in the
BR2_EXTERNAL sub-tree of your project.
