Reinstallation of Software: The Beauty of Mac

Hi Mac users,

I have installed a number of software onto my Mac. I was wondering, if something happened, and I had to reinstall my Mac, could I just copy and paste the Application Folder and the Library Folder over from a backup and everything should be working again? Obviously, some more complex programs such as iWorks would need to be reinstalled from scratch, but those that you generally download off the web like QT, Adium, VLC etc should not need to be reinstalled, right?
