Yes. The 2532 *not* the 2732, will drop into the ROM sockets on a PET.
I have been doing it since 1979. When I got my 32K 2001 (kinda like
a 3032, not at all like a 4032 motherboard), one of the first things I
did was to add 2 toolkit ROMs - BASIC-AID, ROM-RABBIT (a tape speeder)
and a better monitor/assembler. The commercial stuff was purchased,
and the freeware stuff was gotten at the local PET club on 2532s.
I had the $C000 ROM fail on my original PET. I was able to burn a
replacement and it's back on its feet.
With the 2332 and 2732 pinouts, it's possible to build a pin-swabber, but
the 2532 is a no-brainer (if you can find them).
