argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.

Are all noble gases lighter than air?

No. The molar mass of dry air is 28.97 g/mol. Noble gases are monatomic, so their atomic mass represent their molar mass. From this we can tell that helium and neon are less dense (lighter) than air, while argon (atomic mass 39.9) onwards are denser than air.
