No! The \addlyrics construct copies the durations from the music, i.e. 
any durations specified
explicitly in the lyrics are ignored.

The simplest way I can think of to align a syllable with a rest is to 
add an invisible note in parallel
with the rest, which the lyrics can align to:
\version "2.11"

\new RhythmicStaff {
  \override Score.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
  f8 f4 f8 f4 f | <<r8 {\hideNotes c8 \unHideNotes } >> f4. f2 |
}

\addlyrics {
 "1" "+ 2 " "+" "3" "4" | "1" "+ 2 +" "3   4"
}

An alternatative is to do what Valentin hinted at, namely to not use 
\addlyrics but rather
use explicit durations for each syllable.
