Sometimes. In U.S. colleges and universities, "professor" is an academic rank awarded by the institution that employs faculty. The most common titles in order of rank, lowest to highest, are instructor; assistant professor; associate professor; full professor. The last three are so-called "professorial" ranks, and the people who hold them may be addressed as "professor." People in the lower ranks -- tutor, docent, lecturer, instructor, for example -- are addressed according to their preferences: Ms., Mrs., Mr. Adjunct faculty may have been appointed as "adjunct professors" or may have professorial rank at another institution. In either case, it is proper to address those people as "professor." [Faculty who hold a doctorate may be addressed as "doctor," irrespective of academic rank.] Many people in the U.S.A. use "professor" as a general honorific. It is not a serious breach of etiquette, therefore, to call any faculty, adjunct or otherwise, "professor," merely as an equivalent of "sir" or "madam."
