Zoom R16 Garageband Ipad Charger

Hi,
When I bought a Zoom R16 recently, I intended to use it for 'mobile' recording; I usually use a Presonus Firestudio as my audio interface for my DAW (when it works).
However, I have had problems with the Firestudio that the tech. folks at Presonus cannot figure out, and I have been thinking about using the R16 as my audio interface.
My question is, in addition to recording on the R16, will I be able to plug my monitors into the R16's L & R outputs, and be able monitor the recording and playback of tracks in my DAW (GarageBand 11)? In other words, will the USB both send (recording) information to the computer, and return live and recorded playback?
Thanks,
GVDV.
