In a sense, yes.  The Macro Record function is only enabled in Writer 
and Calc, I believe.  The reason you cannot record one in HTML Editor is 
that you could not save it with the document, as is usually done.  You 
would have to save it as a global macro, executable in any app of OOo.  
That is why you will probably have to write your macro under Writer, 
save it as a global macro and assign it to a key or button and then 
execute it from HTML Editor.
