Yes, from the linked article:


What happens if you erase a device

When you erase your device, all of your information (including credit, debit, or prepaid cards for Apple Pay) is deleted from the device. If you erase a device that had iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or later installed, you can use Find My to locate the device or play a sound on it. Otherwise, you won't be able to locate or play a sound on your device after you erase it. You might still be able to locate your Mac or Apple Watch if it's near a previously-used Wi-Fi network.
