Yes. It is the past participle of to be

"Been" is part of a verb tense, but not a verb by itself. It is part of the Perfect tense of "to be".
Present Perfect: I have been ____.
Past Perfect: I had been ____.
Future Perfect: I will have been _____.

"been" is the past participle of "be"
The verb is "be", "been" is just one way to use it.
