Yes and no. By taking it supplementally, it does help support the health of the joints, but it won't be as fast of an impact as directly injecting some into your joint. Also, vegetarians really couldn't take a supplemental collagen because it would be from an animal source (although injections could be chemically created so they aren't from animals in theory).
The more positive sides of the supplemental form is that you're taking it as nature intended (eating collagen orally) so your body will process it as it needs and send the nutrients where it's needed just as human bodies have since the dawn of man. Also, it's a lot more cost efficient (and often time efficient) to take a daily pill than go into your doctor's office for an injection every so often. By taking it daily, you'll also keep the joints (all the joints, not just the one you inject it into) healthy and moving more comfortably while the shots are commonly only given when you're in enough pain.
Either way, it will nourish the joints so it's really personal preference and personal need, but those are the main reasons I can think of that people may prefer one over the other. Good luck and I hope I helped!
