Yes, I believe so. Communications with MobileMe's iDisk is done over HTTPS. Which means your data is transmitted securely as well.

However, once the data arrives on Apple's servers, it's vulnerable to unscrupulous Apple employees or contractors. And, if you've syncing with your iPhone, the data could be accessed by anyone who steals your phone (or your Mac, for that matter).
