Yes.  And you also need to put some function in addition to
font-lock-fontify-region in jit-lock-functions, either by enabling
bug-reference-mode, goto-address-mode, or simply defining

  (defun i-do-nothing (start end) nil)

and then M-: (jit-lock-register #'i-do-nothing) RET in the igc.org
buffer.
