Absolutely. Hay is a Guinea pig's prime source of food. You need to supplement fresh grass or herbs and give them vitamin A and C (for example, with vitamin-enriched guinea pig food from the pet store), but there should always be plenty of hay. They sit on it, they borrow in it, and they eat it.
A Guinea pig's teeth never stop growing, so it is essential to feed them tough matter such as hay to help them wear their teeth out. A diet based on soft fresh food such as salads will lead to overgrowing teeth, which will cause pain and injury (and require a trip to the vet).

As it is edible for them and helps wear down their teeth. People feed timothy hay to guinea pigs that aren't pregnant or young as if you give a normal guinea pig alfalfa hay (which is for pregnant guinea pigs and young guinea pigs), it will be too high in calcium (I think) which is bad for them.
