Yes, though "Pilot" is a misnomer -- they shot it with every
intention of airing it as the first episode, but a BBC executive
felt the Doctor was too crotchety and made them do it over. There
are actually two versions of the pilot included: the final, edited
version that they planned on airing, and the unedited tape of the
recording session (which is basically the same as the former, except
they do two takes of the last scene).
