Yes, it is. Although I wonder why you used the word 'just'. In
science, it is extremely difficult to attain the status of Theory.

Wrong again. Mass is a property of matter. The motion of planets,
the acceleration of an object dropped on Earth - these are all facts.
Gravity is the theory that explains these facts, and this explanation
states that the gravitational force is proportional to the mass of
the objects being measured.
It is far from settled, though. There is nothing that reliably
explains *how* gravity works, and how it works over such huge distances.
