The quick answer is Yes.
The definition of "round" is pretty vague. If you look at the definition (see my source link) you will find these definitions fit:
as an adjective:
5) spherical or globular, as a ball
6) shaped more or less like a part of a sphere; hemispherical
as a noun:
19) any round shape, as a circle, ring or sphere
20) a circular, ring-shaped, curved, or spherical object; a rounded form.
Now, does the earth fit into these definitions? Yes.
Is earth perfectly round, or a perfect sphere? No, it is not, it does bulge at the equator, but it takes on, as per definition 6, a shape more or less like (part of) a sphere.

The Earth's shape is very close to an oblate spheroid—a rounded shape with a bulge around the equator

It is an olbate spheroid which is a sphere which bulges slightly at the equator. This bulging is due to earth spinning on its axis where the speed at the equator is over 1000 mph. This spinning over 5 billion years has resulted in the outward push of the earth's mass.

It's called an oblate spheroid -- a sphere with a very slight bulge at the equator.

not exactly round. It is slightly flatten at the poles and bulged at the equator.

No.
If the circumference is considered, it is oval as the shape of the earth is ELLIPTICAL
