Yes, as a vertebra is a piece of a backbone. As such invertebrate means an organism that does not have a spinal column or back bone. Crabs have an exoskeleton (their external shell serves as a skeleton) instead of a back bone, they are therefore considered invertebrates.

Crabs have no bones, including no vertebrae (backbones). They are invertebrates.
