Yes, although a matchstick produces heat as well as light. Anything that you burn or eat is chemical energy.
When you strike a match, mechanical energy is used to move the matchstick against the rough striking surface. This generates heat energy due to friction, which ignites the combustible chemicals on the match head. The chemical reaction releases thermal energy and light energy in the form of a flame.

Strike the match and start it burning then it can be used

In any energy transformation energy is preserved.
The energy given off by burning a matchstick is mainly in the form of heat and light. The heat is a result of the exothermic combustion reaction that occurs when the matchstick is ignited, and the light is emitted as a by-product of the combustion process.
