The right answer as far as I know is yes. From the official FLAC site:
'The encoding of audio (PCM) data incurs no loss of information, and
the decoded audio is bit-for-bit identical to what went into the
encoder.'

Of course there are several ways of compressing/decompressing files;
therefore we have zip, rar, 7zip, etc. In the same way there are
several lossless codecs. But they have one thing in common: if what is
encoded is PCM, the same PCM comes out the decoding process. There is
no conversion of format.
