Yes, Windows 11 runs natively on ARM. There is ARM native versions of MS Edge, Office, Visual Studio. Most software from 3rd parties is still x86/x64 based but some things like Firefox are available for ARM.
They do have their own translation layers for both x86 and x64 based apps. It's "slower" than Rosetta 2 but it's just commodity ARM hardware with no accommodations for certain x64 instructions like Apple Silicon. I've been mostly impressed by it.
