Yes. The word "station" implies people at it. If a "space station" weren't manned, it would simply be called a satellite.
Skylab, though it was launched in 1973 and destroyed in 1979, when its orbit decayed enough to allow it to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
The Soviet Union (USSR) launched the first space station "Salyut 1" on April 19, 1971. (It was only manned for 23 days in June, 1971, and the Soyuz 11 crew were killed on reentry of their capsule.) The orbit of Salyut decayed and it was deliberately splashed into the Pacific Ocean on October 11, 1971.
The first manned space flight was by the U.s.s,R in the Sputnik.
As of now, there are no manned space probes in space. All probes sent beyond Earth's orbit are unmanned and controlled remotely from Earth. Manned missions have been limited to spacecraft that carry astronauts, such as the International Space Station or missions to the Moon.

Yes, the International Space Station is always manned.

No, the Salut 1 was not the first space station. The first space station was the Soviet space station Salyut 1, which was launched in 1971.
The first space vessel was manned by Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, in 1961. He became the first human to journey into outer space and orbit the Earth aboard Vostok 1.
in 1961
The Mercury Program was the first manned space flight program,
On May 5 1961 Mercury 3 took Alan Shepard to space making it America's first manned space flight
