Yes — each attack (battle) activates the attacked nation and moves it one step regardless of how many rounds are fought, and every nation in a mixed army is activated and advanced. It also advances once more when a City, Town or Stronghold is captured, so a defended settlement can cost two steps. Each fresh battle, including repeated siege attacks, is a new attack.
