Can they be seen via any other MIDI editors/players correctly without any corruption?

No, that is not guaranteed. You can specify TextEncoding property on WritingSettings/ReadingSettings to write/read MIDI data by DryWetMIDI.

Also some DAWs can write MIDI with text events where text is stored in Unicode to save, for example, lyrics in your local language. And DryWetMIDI allows you correctly read such texts via specifying TextEncoding property. But again, there is no guarantee that such text will be correctly read by other software.
