Absolutely. Indoor toilets - and even flushing toilets - existed since about 1600, and the present-day model was already patented in 1852. Not by Thomas Crapper by the way, although his name is immortalized in toilet-related expressions.

The outdoor toilet remained a fixture of rural areas until well into the 20th century, but that had mostly to do with the absence of waterworks and sewerage services in these areas.

What are Amish toilets like?

The vast majority of Amish communities allow inside flush toilets. There are some notable exceptions such as the Swartzentruber Amish and the Nebraska Group in Pennsylvania. There are other communities such as Buchanan County Iowa and Adams County, Indiana that did not allow flush toilets. I know at least some, if not all of the Adams County community allows the use of indoor flush toilets. Communites not allowing the use of indoor flush toilets would make use of outhouses and chamber pots.
