Maybe.

If your yoyo takes an A sized bearing or a C sized bearing, then yes. You will need to purchase an appropriate sized CBC CenterTrac bearing.

If your yoyo uses a different sized bearing, then no, you will not be able to use a CenterTrac bearing as they only make them in A and C sizes.

Note that yoyos use many sized bearings. The size of the bearing is no reflection of the quality of the yoyo. There’s a new trend towards more D sized bearings, and many European companies are choosing to use the L sized, or Euro-C bearing. Also, some yoyos come in different variations for bearing size. For example, the CLYW Bassalope comes in a version that uses an A-sized bearing(Small bearing basalope) an the Large Bearing version that uses a C sized bearing. The VsNewton YoYoConcepts Skywalker has both C and D bearing models.

So, here’s the question for you:  
Which yoyos do you have that you wish to do a bearing upgrade in?

However if you’re an intermediate player, it may be a it premature to change your bearing out. Then again, it can’t hurt to have some parts to experiment with.
