Actually from ancient Greece up till the 18th century all lighted celestial bodies were 'stars' so yes it would come true

The 7 “planetes” (Greek for "wanderer") were distinct from stars: Sun Moon Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn.
-
The 'star' to which the Romans prayed, the origin of the expression 'to wish upon a star' was Venus the 'evening star'!
