NO! England as well as all the other countries involved at Dunkirk i.e. Scotland,N.Ireland and Wales among others were forced to retreat when faced with overwhelming numbers. In reality, England alone did not win any decisive battles of WW2,each battle was won by a combination of nations, (including "The Battle of Britain") with pilots from nations such as Poland, France, Scotland, etc.

Was Dunkirk a triumph or defeat?

There have been tales that Dunkirk was indeed a triumph and success. It was a triumph for Britain and a disaster for Germany. The Army that Germany could have destroyed was now across the channel defending the beaches of England. Had the Germans made a determined effort to destroy this army then attempted a quick channel crossing England might have been out of the war. For Britain Dunkirk is and should be consider a triumph because England was able to save a large part of there army. Even through the Army lost most of the equipment it gave England the ability to defend its own soil. Now the Germans would have to cross the channel and destroy the army that they failed to destroy in Dunkirk.
