Yes, a flag waving on a pole is an example of a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of a flag waving, the fabric moves up and down (perpendicular to the pole) as the wave travels along the flag.

No, a flag cannot wave in space as there is no atmosphere to create the wind necessary for it to wave. However, the flag can still be displayed or moved by an astronaut.

The way the person chooses to wave the flag.
The flag placed on the moon during the Apollo missions appears to "wave" in photographs and videos due to its design and the movement created during its placement. In the vacuum of space, there is no wind to cause the flag to flutter, so the motion seen is likely from the flag being unfurled and the inertia created by the astronaut handling it.
A flag that is often waved in the wind is the national flag of a country. It typically represents the identity, values, and pride of a nation.
