Yes, but this depends on NAND type. In the worst case, you may write at 
least once there. In case of some NANDs - more.

Note, JFFS2 writes clean marker to OOB area of the first page of a newly 
erased eraseblock. But it doesn't prohibit JFFS2 to write to this page 
later, and store ECC in OOB, even though this OOB already contains some 
data (the clean marker).
