No, Oedipus and his father Laius are not reunited at the beginning of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus still believes himself to be the son of Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope. Additionally, Oedipus' biological father Laius already is dead, at his own son's hands. Oedipus does not reunite with his foster or real parents until after his death, when he joins them in the Underworld of the afterlife.
