Yes.  And the Elisp manual says

      Buffers that are ephemeral and generally uninteresting to the user
   have names starting with a space, so that the `list-buffers' and
   `buffer-menu' commands don't mention them (but if such a buffer visits
   a file, it *is* mentioned).  A name starting with space also initially
   disables recording undo information; see *Note Undo::.
