No.

You need to use a nRF9160-DK or an ARMv8 programmer/debugger. The reason is that the ARM Cortex M33 on the nRF9160 is one generation never than the nRF52 series (ARMv7), hence you need a newer programmer.

Do you have a custom nRF9160 board that you want to program ?

If yes, use either P22(if you have a 10-pin connector on your custom board) or P15. See this link. The figure in this post might also help.
