yes it would first check that the boards are not moveing along the crack if it is try to screw it back up first. then skrim the joint pva the ceilin and skim.
you can just scrim and feather out with multi of easyfill but you would get a better more consistant finish if you skim the lot.
good luck and if your doin it your self dnt forget the pva to control the suction and a chemical key

it wouldn't hurt to re screw the boards throughout as they can be pulled up tight where the nails may have given a bit.
