Yes, the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are both on Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens (which are also Kings County and Queens County, respectively) occupy the western end of Long Island.
Kings County (aka the borough of Brooklyn) is the westernmost county on Long Island, and Queens County (aka the borough of Queens) is the second-westernmost. Queens lies on top of and somewhat east of Brooklyn, as if it just tried to sit down on Brooklyn too hard, and is now slipping off the right side of it.
The remaining, eastern portion of Long Island is occupied by Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City as Brooklyn and Queens are.
Suffolk County is the easternmost county on Long Island, and at 912 square miles, it is also the largest, taking up 65% of Long Island's total land area (which is 1401 square miles).

Geographically speaking, yes. The actual geographic landmass that is Long Island consists of Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties.
