Its a possibility.
I had a vaccuum leak (Pass side PCV hose that goes to back of throttle body) that exibited the same symptoms until the leak got real bad, then it ran rough even at stop lights. One thing that will give it away is you will hear the leak. Also your RPMs will shoot up when you put it in park if its the leak.

If its just a rough idle, then look at the IAC.
