Yes. In that regard, it's no different from Obscure. If you can give a sense -1 to -10 with Obscure, then you can completely blank that sense with Invisibility. Indeed, Obscure was priced so that Obscure 10 (Always On, -50%; Defensive, +50%; Stealthy, +100%) would cost 40 points, like Invisibility. Obscure affects an area to begin with, while Invisibility affects a broader set of senses to begin with, but that's a tradeoff. And note that many of the examples in Powers are non-visual: magnetic detection, scanners, etc.
I think that means you can also simply say Inaudible: Invisibility to Hearing [40], which would cover all forms/ranges of hearing*, but wouldn't affect vision at all.

* except machines, and wouldn't quiet your gear...
