Yes. A good rule of thumb is that if the device has an antenna, it uses radio waves. An antenna would not be needed if it didn't use radio waves.

How do walkie talkies work?
Each walkie talkie is a radio transceiver (combined transmitter and receiver). Typically there is a rotary switch to select frequency channel for the transceiver and a button that when pressed switches the transceiver into transmit mode (normally it is in receive mode). Set two or more walkie talkies to the same channel and their users can communicate, if they are in range. The details of how radio transceivers work should be found in books on radio design and/or repair as this requires diagrams, figures, etc. that can't be posted here to fully understand.
