Yes. See the following from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to turn on and use your device.


However, if you are selling or giving away a device and want someone else to use it see: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
