Yes, it is. Microbes can get in through any hole in your body, and your ear holes are one of them. The ear wax is a sticky substance that stops microbes from infecting your ears and letting your body get infected by microbes.

Further answer

I personally don't see it as part of the immune system. Defence system - yes, immune - no. The immune system fights bacteria and other foreign bodies by developing anti-bodies which kill them, generally in the blood stream. Not quite the same thing as stopping stuff getting into your ear in the first place.
