Yes, you can do that.  That way programs like crontab will invoke your
editor when they need to edit a file.  However, be aware that such
programs often expect certain behavior, for example, that the inode of the
file doesn't change when it's edited (i.e., the file is written in place).
So, before you set EDITOR to something, make sure that something writes
the files properly (just test it out).  I don't know if this is a
constraint with other programs, but it was a showstopper with crontab for
some people.
