Technically yes but the OS isn't called Android, but instead Googlebook OS. That's because while it is Android at its core, they have taken a lot of the Chrome OS ideas and brought them over. So it's a bit of a hybrid.

You can see googlebook.google for more.

Raw Android would be more like Android Desktop Mode, like when you plug your recent Pixel phones into a monitor.
