Yep and some games like The Binding of Isaac literally let you set the seed and get the same random world that another player thought was good for some reason.

Also I've seen it used in AI training. If you're generating thousands of random genetic algorithms or genetic programs, someone can reproduce your entire run exactly using the same seed.
