Yes.

To complete the Fluorine octets (6 times) they need to increase from 7- (in fluorine atoms) to 8- (in fluoride ions F-1), so one electron per F atom.

These 6x 1 electrons are ALL donated from the only ONE sulfur atom (which has 6 valence electrons available) thus S becomes S+6

Does BeF2 obey the octet rule?

No it is not fully obeying the octet rule. Boron has only 6 electrons (3 own + 3 from each F atom), lacking two for the octet. Fluorine is 3x satisfied, each with 8 electrons (each has 7 own plus 1 from boron).
