No, that command will not give you the marginal effect for the interaction term.

For ways of getting the marginal effect after a -probit- model see:

Norton, E., H. Wang, and C. Ai. (2004) "Computing interaction effects
and standard errors in logit and probit models." The Stata Journal
4(2): 154-167

A more concise representation of the interaction effect is possible
after the -logit-, see:

M.L. Buis (2010) "Stata tip 87: Interpretation of interactions in
non-linear models", The Stata Journal, 10(2), pp. 305-308.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
