If Ibn Mas'oud said something and it was written down / transmitted through a verified chain of transmission, then yes. The integrity of his character was widely known, so it is not possible for a handful of people to conspire and manufacture up reports on his integrity and character. We know he was an authoritative source on the exegesis of the Qur'an, so that's why his word is top-ranked. That was his specialty. Other Companions had other areas of specialization.
