yes...
however, it's not because of the reason you're stating. It's because a break cue and or a jump/break cue is specifically designed as specialty cues.
I use a viking that was a a gift to the APA national runner up from the APA with a hard tip on it. No one could EVER tell me I couldn't jump with it, if jumps are otherwise allowed, because it is NOT a specialty cue. Not that it would matter because I don't play in the APA...lol

Depends on what he is saying. Is he saying by his bylaws? And where is he defining "any full size cue" as that is not mentioned anywhere and it says any piece of equipment designed specially for pocket billiards with 2 exceptions - laser device and mechanical cues.
If he is saying you can do it in APA and it is acceptable in higher level tournaments he is wrong being that the rules specifically say you can't use a break or a jump/break cue to jump.
