In this definition, yes.
Well, that is the only definition of file system journaling I know of.
But I find that rather limited :-)
It is much better than the previous situation where losing power could

corruption of the inode indexes/file allocation tables/b-trees/...).
It's of course not a substitute for backups or versioned file systems.
