Yes. All of the planets (not just Venus) orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the arbitrary location "above" the orbital plane. Venus has the distinction of being the only planet to have a reverse "spin" or rotation about its axis. This is currently thought to have been caused by a large collision early in the planet's formation.

Venus spins once about every 243 Earth days, and orbits the Sun about once every 225 Earth days.
