Yes the IS in the lens and the IBIS in the camera will work together. The switch for IS on the lens will switch both the lens IS and IBIS on/off. 

In general IBIS is better a correcting the left / right / up / down shift movement and the lens IS is better at correcting angular movement, having them work together gives you the best of both. However you can't just add the amount of lens IS to the amount of IBIS and expect that as the total amount of stabilisation, particularly with older EF and EF-S lenses. So for example if the lens offers 3-stops and the body IBIS is 5-stops you won't get 8-stops. Also remember that any amount of image stabilisation cannot stabilise a moving subject only shutter speed can do that. IBIS and lens IS only counteracts camera movement.
