Pretty much.Most of the mechanisms that an APFSDS uses to inflict damage on a tank, from spalling to thermal effects, don't work well against thin skinned vehicles (bar hits on the engine and similar of course).Artillery cluster munitions should be a different matter however, as these use explosive bomblets.
Against tank fired HEAT rounds it should boil down to how much the fuze is sensitive and if it impacts something hard enough to trigger it.If that happens then you have a very dead Land Rover.
