Yes, that's exactly what bilingual (or multilingual) means. Doesn't have to be completely fluent or use it everyday, just that you literally know and can communicate in more than one language.
In Europe, it's more likely that any one person is bi- or multi-lingual just because there are more languages in contact with one another through close borders, etc.
In parts of North America, some people only know one language their entire life (whether it be Spanish or English, etc)
