Yes. Though the auto save might not trigger if the notebook is really not changed.

Probably, have  a look at Jupyterhub: 

https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub

Which is multi-user in a ro/rw fashion. 
you can also add an extension that auto reaload for the "reader" 

Hope that helps until we have true live collaboration.
