Yes it does. If you look at Obito fighting Hiruzen, Hiruzen notes that TSBs by default (i.e. before adding Yin-Yang) blow apart the molecules of anything they touch. He directly compares it to Dust Release, as a better version of it. But this de-molecular effect is not the same affect as Tobirama talks about later. One acts on the physical level (blows apart the molecules making up the object), the other is basically the Naruto equivalent of anti-magic (causes the effects of the Ninjutsu to fail by breaking apart it's basic magical components). If the TSB could atomize things like Dust release then there is no reason Obito/Madara didnt just atomize everything that came their way, Senjutsu or not

Also note that the Dust Release type effect did not just happen on Ninjutsu. Hiruzen used the Shuriken Shadow Clone jutsu, and the default TSBs still erased the original, real shuriken he threw at Obito too. And which of those 20ish Shuriken was the real one and where is the panel that shows all of them destroyed
