Yes. Wallabies give birth to undeveloped young, which then complete their development in the mother's pouch. Female wallabies, like all marsupials, have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female marsupials have two fallopian tubes and two cervixes. Male marsupials (with the exception of the largest species, the Red Kangaroo, Eastern Grey and Western Grey Kangaroos) have a "bifurcated" or two-pronged penis to accommodate the females' two vaginas.

These characteristics make wallabies marsupials.
