That's the same as saying

"If current bar close is above MA[1]" 

and that can be used in a system. The displacement bit is just for
shifting the way the average is plotted; it is still calculated on every
bar, just like any other average. The displaced plot you see appearing
realtime is simply the value of MA[0], calculated on the last bar of the
chart, but plotted elsewhere for visualization purposes.
