Yes! All data in BigQuery is universally addressable. The full address of any table in BQ is projectname.datasetname.tablename and queries can join tables from different datasets and even different projects without a problem.
However, this can only happen if the account running the query has permission to query both tables. Since Looker generally connects to BQ via a service account, you need to confirm that the service account in Looker's connection has access to all the data you're trying to access. If it doesn't, you'll get a permission denied error.
