Yes yellow jackets do bite and sting. The sting maybe initially more painful but the bite has potential for real problems also. If you are allergic to the sting then you will have an allergic reaction possibly with breathing issues which require swift medical attention. The bite which can be painful can cause it's own problems.
Yellow jackets are scavengers that eat just about anything. You see them on animal carcasses, around trash cans, rotten food etc. This often means their mouths are covered in bacteria. So when they bit you you could be in for a nasty infection. So if the bite site gets worse over a couple of days you should seek medical attention, especially if there is any significant swelling or streaking indicating infection.
So if you are bit or stung, wash the site with soap and water and keep your eye on it.
