yeah, i believe so. but i may be wrong. the phyrexian symbol just gives you another means to pay for it instead of its original cost, which in this case would be a swamp.

From the comprehensive rules:

107.4f A Phyrexian mana symbol represents a cost that can be paid either with one mana of its color
or by paying 2 life.
Example: {W/P}{W/P} can be paid by spending {W}{W}, by spending {W} and paying 2
life, or by paying 4 life.

The value of any Phyrexian mana symbol is still only one mana, it just has a built-in alternate cost you may pay. It will work on Isochron Scepter.
