No. The index is a very new addition and is still being worked on.
Support at the moment is limited to ffmpeg2theora and OggIndex (plus
patches for Firefox). It is expected that various players will be
patched to support the index, however. Cortado would probably be one
of them.

Seeking is known to have problems in Cortado. They're fixed as they're found.
Also, a recently released version of Cortado had a non-working
playback position access from Javascript, in case you're also seeing
this problem. I'm unsure whether there was a release since this was
found.
