The answer is positive. For any Jordan curve, there is a homeomorphism of the Riemann sphere, which sends this curve to a circle. Your statement immediately follows.

One prove of this statement involves the Riemann mapping theorem and the boundary correspondence theorem of Caratheodory. But there are also pure topological proofs, of course.
