It should work, however http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#alias says:

When location matches the last part of the directive’s value:
it is better to use the root directive instead:

which would yield:

server {
  listen        8080;
  server_name   www.mysite.com mysite.com;
  error_log     /home/www-data/logs/nginx_www.error.log;
  error_page    404    /404.html;

  location /public/doc/ {
    autoindex on;
    root  /home/www-data/mysite;
  } 

  location = /404.html {
    root /home/www-data/mysite/static/html;
  }       
}
