Yes (but, like the others, it depends on your local jurisdiction).
Here's what happened to me....
My divorce is inter-jurisdictional (filed for in "STATE A", the actual divorce and division of assets occuring in "STATE A", but since I'm in a "STATE B", the child custody, support etc happened in
"STATE B").
I had a lawyer acting on my behalf in Alberta. Divorce judgement became final this past April. HOWEVER... my ex, being the idiot he is, didn't attend the hearing (I didn't have to b/c my lawyer was there representing me). He also failed to provide a current address to the courts, so the final divorce judgement got mailed to his old address.
MONTHS go by. Finally, he hires a lawyer (we're still trying to deal with division of assets). I get a letter from his lawyer, asking me to sign off on the divorce judgement because "my client (the ex) has moved on and wishes to legally be able to do so".
Basically, he's got a new honey, wants to get remarried but doesn't know he's divorced (and has been for nearly 10 months!!). I'm not gonna tell him, and neither is my lawyer!!
LMAO :)

If you were served properly with the paperwork then more than likely yes your divorce is final.

I am gonna say yes but you may want to contact the court where the divorce was gonna happen. It might have been your lucky day and got set to another day. You really need to contact the courts and find out. ASAP
