It's a 5 way pot and yes. If you're losing money in these spots at your typical 2/5 game then you probably have a lot of major postflop leaks in multiway pots.
Remember the call doesn't have to be +EV, it just has to be more EV than losing 1 bb (which I guess you could say it technically could be defined as +EV blah blah blah semantics). Even though this call is only marginally +EV this situation happens frequently so if you're giving up small amount of EV often then it adds up quickly!
