Yes, this is what is believed. It's still debated, but as a whole it's a fairly accepted belief that the natives of America were originally from Asia. This land bridge is known as the Bering land bridge. It's not like that today because of plate tectonics. (Studying geology now, didn't think I'd EVER USE IT) Today, plate tectonics is widely accepted, as well as Pangaea, the belief that all continents were one at a point in history. However, matching Coastlines, matching geological features, (i.e. mountains) paleomagnetism, (which explains polar wandering) and matching fossils all provide strong evidence for continental drift and Pangaea. Thus, a land bridge between North America and Asia is not a big jump, and neither is an exodus of Asian's to the land mass.

North America, known as Beringia, during the last Ice Age. This land bridge connected Siberia (Russia) and Alaska (USA) and was exposed due to lower sea levels. It is believed that this migration occurred around 15,000-20,000 years ago.
