Yes and yes. Sorry for clarification it is 18 ft/lbs for both covers.
Of course you probably know this but I don't torque the timing cover bolts down until the pulley is on and has centered the cover/seal. Also make sure the rear main seal is on the crank and over both lips in the seal before you torque down the rear main cover or you will have some oil leakage...
