Short answer is yes. Long answer is yes.

Once you put the app 'person' into INSTALLED_APPS in settings in each of
the other two apps you can exploit 'person.Person' in foreign keys and
Django will find it. If you prefer using the person model directly you
do "from person.models import Person" then just use Person in foreign keys.
