Yeah, if you interpret it that way. Though there are numerous times in fiction where followers get magical powers by following eldritch abominations (Shadow over Innsmouth, I think. Also the billions of witch covens that Nyarlathotep has). Then there's the Laundry Series, based off of the Cthulhu Mythos, where magic involves summoning eldritch entities or paying homage to them.

And in Mage: the Awakening, the Scelesti gain powers from the Abyss. But Mage: the Awakening is a subject I could go on about for hours.
