For the most part yes. This is because the Moon rotates on its axis in the same time as it takes to make one orbit of Earth. This means that the same face of the Moon is always facing the Earth We should therefore only be able to see 50% of the Moons surface, however, the Moon wobbles as bit as it orbits the earth (a feature called libration - see the link I will place below) and this allows us to see round the sides of the moon for a little bit, giving us a view of 59% of its surface.
