At the end of this book do Pip and Estella end up getting together?

Yes, they do. Pip comes to the room where she has drawn the drapes and settled down forever. He lets in the light, and they get married.
In the original version as written by Dickens in installments for the magazine, Pip comes to see her, but leaves her in that room forever.

Last chapter, last words:
" "We are friends," said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.
"And will continue friends apart," said Estella.
I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her."
You tell me. (This is the first Pip has seen of Estella in eleven years, BTW.)
I'd say that Charles Dickens deliberately leaves it up in the air, but he gives a definite impression in the direction of them finally getting together.

Dickens ended the book in such a way so that you can decide wether or not they end up together. Although they do leave the manor together they 'see no reason to part again' but just because they don't see it doesn't mean that it won't happen!! hope i helped i'm doing this for course work right now!!

It is up to your interpretation though if you believe they will have a future together. They do have a moment at the end in the garden but it is purposefully ambiguous.
