It seems so. Any way it is electromagnetic wave which could be modulated with digital pulses.
Remote controls use both infrared and radio frequency technologies. Your typical TV remote uses infrared and your typical car remote uses RF.
Infrared rays are used in television remote controls
Remote controls Heating Covert lighting
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
Communications Remote control (TVs etc) Night vision goggles
infrared radiation in used in everyday life because of heat.
infra-red. harmless. same as the beam from your remote control.

Infrared radiation (IR)
Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light can all be used for communication. Radio waves – are used to transmit television and radio programs. Microwaves – are used to transmit satellite television and for mobile phones. Infrared – is used to transmit information from remote controls.
Morse code. Infra red light modulated and sent down fibre optic cable. Traffic lights Display panels.
