It`s unlikely, but it`s a mechanical part, and so can be susceptible to failure.
Undo the screw on the top of it to bleed any air from the feed line, and hook a drill to the shaft and spin it up to see if oil flows from the injector nozzles.
You won`t get a stream from them, you`ll just sort of get `drips`. Haven`t seen many genuinely failed oil pumps. _________________

There's no point riding with a broken oil pump and no premix. You WILL sieze.
Oil pump failure is very rare, though of course it can happen, especially if it's been left standing outside, or thrashed mercilessly with chepa oil and a ham-fisted owner in charge. Even Honda can't beat stupid ownership!
If you do as NSR-Lizard suggests, you should be able to tell if the pump is working.
