Yes, the Munchkins were played by midgets in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, MGM Studios were presented with an exciting acting opportunity. They were able to hire the troupe of diminutive performers owned and operated by Leopold von Singer (May 3, 1877 - March 5, 1951). The troupe's owner operator had devoted considerable resources to draining his diminutive performers in acrobatics, dancing, singing and Wrestling. He ended up with a total of 124 performers employed as Munchkins and Winged Monkeys for the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz."
In the book, they were from Munchkinland. In the 1939 film version, they were from the Singer's Agency Midgets.
As a few books have mentioned, they quite often were.
Some of the actors who played Munchkins in the famous film version of "The Wizard of Oz" also played Flying Monkeys. But no, not all of them!

Who thought that? To my knowledge, the Singer Midgets were among the most beloved characters in the beloved 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. They were paid, and given positive roles. Not a single one was ridiculed, or made to play an unlikeable part. And they've been cherished, memorialized, and respected ever since.
They were played by little people (todays term for what then were called midgets).
