Yes for sure, the first few days in a new place are a shaky time - they're likely to wander off trying to get back to their old home. Years ago we had a cat that went all the way across town to our old place (about 2km?), twice. But generally once they're well settled in they won't go far and it shouldn't be an ongoing problem.
I've heard that cats tend to consider up to a 4Km radius as "their territory". It's kind of crazy/scary when that involves a city.
