Not really. It's the total length of the current loop, not just the body
inductance of the capacitor alone. A 25 mil deep via hole at each end of the
capacitor alone will roughly double the 0.6 nH 'specified' body inductance.
That does not include the pads and traces to get from the capacitor to the vias.

For decoupling an IC lead the usual killer is the lead and bond wire inductance
back to the chip. Usually several nH.
