Well, yes. As long as all six elements and all six ponies are close, there's nothing that actualyl prevents them from controlling the elements of harmony. Once a villain even "broke" the elements of harmony into pieces, but the Mane Six could stil lcontorl them, the pieces began to spin around the Mane Six, and they regenerated. Basically, no villain has a chance if the Mane Six and the elements of harmony are near each other. That's why so far in the actual MLP show, only one villain has tried using the elements of harmony against the Mane Six, and that fact itself led to her defeat.
