Yes.  The access bank can always be directly accessed without regard to
BSR.

Huh?  The PIC16 has no "access bank" mechanism.

That's what I recommend you do until you know enough and have an unusual
situation where that's not good enough.  BSR set to 1 selects 100h - 1FFh
as the 8 bit data address space that can be accessed directly.  The access
bank and registers accessed thru BSR are essentially two independent
address spaces.  The access bank always allows direct access to 0 - 7Fh
and F80h - FFFh.  With BSR = 1 you can also access 100h - 1FFh directly in
any instruction without needing to mess with bank switching.
