Do people in Laos spell out their words the same way as Thai people?

I realize that the written Lao language differs considerably from Thai script. 

 

But do Lao people  (in this context, i'm talking about persons within Lao PDR; not the ethnic Lao who inhabit Isan)  spell out their words with the same alphabetic examples as Thai people?    

 

For instance, would they spell out the word "mayo" (cat) in the following way:      sa-la aa...maw mahh...waw waan  ?
