Yes, it will be available if the Apple Care+ is valid for the device.
Please refer to ---> See AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions for complete product details.

The warranty in effect is the Japanese warranty that you received when you purchased your iPhone and AppleCare+ with Theft & Loss. The warranties specifically spell out how repairs are handled both in Japan and worldwide.
There may be restrictions and limitations. The included but are not limited to shipping the item to a regional service center. You may be given a replacement iPhone that differs slightly from your original iPhone. It may contain components for a specific region. There may be extended delays due to shipping of required parts.
Here’s a link to the Japanese warranty.
Specifically, this is what it says about international warranty service.
”Service is limited to the options available in the country where service is requested; parts availability and turnaround times may vary.
• If the product cannot be serviced in that country, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges.
• When requesting service outside the original purchase country, you must comply with import/export requirements and pay applicable duties, taxes, and related charges.
• Where overseas service is available, Apple may repair or replace the product with equivalent products or parts that meet local standards.”
No one here works for Apple or can exactly state how a future request for warranty service may be handled. The inconvenience is something to be considered.
