Yes, it doesn't matter whether you use the C++, C, or Fortran interface to
write a netCDF file.  The file format is independent of the language
interface used to write it or the machine on which it was written.  You can
read a netCDF file using any of the three language interfaces that was
written using any of the three language interfaces.
