That would get into some hair splitting. The earliest recordings of music tended to be famous classical pieces, but those obviously aren't "pop" music of that era. However, classic American songs (folk-type) were very popular, and many early recordings were of those ("Swanee River", "No Place Like Home", etc.) Other than that possibility, yes - jazz probably was the first "popular" music to be recorded. The only equal contender would be marches and patriotic pieces, which were wildly "popular" music at the same time.
