Sorry, not on a Haas it will not. T1 M06 just commands a tool change to tool 1, following this you need G43 H01 to set length compensation and then G41 (or 42) D01 for diameter compensation.
When Setting 15 H & T Code Agreement is turned ON the machine checks that the H number matches the tool number so you have to use H01 for Tool 1, H02 for Tool 2, etc. For the diameter offset D you can use any number and the machine will not do a check; so it is up to the programmer to make sure the correct D value is being called for a tool.
Things are different on lathes which do make all the offset values active at a tool change so you do not need to call them later.
