ico[1] is a useful resource for all GDPR related questions, but to answer your question: yes. Under GDPR, "personal data" is "any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier."[2]. You can also read the "Article 4 - definitions" section in the official regulation doc (pdf)[3].
For the most part, GDPR protections for "personal data" only apply to identifiable data, as would be expected.
