Yes.
Corn starch, Corn flour, cornstarch, cornflour and maize starch are all different names for the same thing, a pure starch obtained from the endosperm of the corn (maize) kernel. Corn flour is frequently used as a thickener for gravies and in Chinese cooking. It is also the basis of powdered custard.
However do not confuse "Cornstarch" with "Maize flour or Cornmeal" which are used to make corn tortillas.
NOTE: in the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is sometimes also referred to as cornflour - this confuses the issue for Americans.
