There is a process that has to be followed in court cases like this. If someone cannot be served papers, there is "public notification" that can be published in the local newspapers and the court will mail a notice to the last known address. If there is no response at the scheduled hearing, the court can allow the case to proceed. The first order of the case is too see if the proper procedure was followed. If it was then the court can rule that a default exists and the divorce is granted. One of the parties has to be present and a judgment will be entered into the court records.
If the court granted a divorce then the answer is yes. You are legally divorced. You can contact the court and request a copy of the decree.
