Yes, the majority of them were. With so much work necessary to produce the crops (mostly cotton), there were only a few other positions for slaves. Some of the other positions they held were blacksmith, livery/stable hands, carpentry, and gardening.
The ones who were house slaves did the cooking, canning, cleaning, sewing, child rearing and wet nurse. Many of the plantation owners even had children to perform certain duties, such as making them sleep at the foot of their beds as "foot warmers" in cold weather.
