Answer
Yes, but not directly.
HDInsight needs Domain Services to run. So in the cloud you need the managed Azure AD DS to provide the necessary services. And Azure AD DS automatically loads data from cloud Azure AD (which is a PaaS AD, however it is not full blown on-premises AD and is just a subset of functionality with new modern features). To integrate on-premises AD with Azure AD you can use Azure Connect sync.
So in the end the chain would look like this:
On-premises AD -> Azure Connect -> Azure AD -> Azure AD DS <-> Azure HDInsights
