Yes – categorically yes
You have to step back a little bit from some of the continuity errors, eg Bond meeting Blofeld for the first time more than once and the less said about the line in OHMSS the better but ‘James Bond’ is absolutely not a code name; after all in Skyfall Kincaid would not have greeted Bond with a code name nor had that detail of his childhood.
If you struggle with the time frame just accept that Casino Royale was the first film in the series but filmed later (kind of like the Star Wars series) and that inevitably creates some continuity issues

James bond is the same guy in all the movies like he’s the same guy in all of the books. The reason he’s played by different actors is because the other actors got to old for the part/didn’t want play the part anymore. Because at the time of making Dr No it was the cheapest Bond to make due to the budget costs this is why the timeline isn’t great because all the films aren’t filmed in order of the books where published. According to interviews and magazines articles I’ve watched or read theytook snippets from one book and other books to make some of the films. Although Daniel Craig’s Bond is the same guy apparently his films are a reboot of the franchise and probably the reason why he died in No time to die. Sorry for the spoiler if you’ve not seen it yet.

Maybe?
Realistically speaking, he can’t be the same character each time. Even if you wave away the constant changing of his face (and Blofeld’s face for that matter and characters like Felix Leiter changing actor and sometimes ethnicity between movies) and all that, there’s a massive volume of cultural changes – Bond’s missions shift from Cold War fighting the commies through more modern ideals of spy stories and this is reflected in the nature of his enemies and how they’re portrayed. Plus, the first two Daniel Craig Bond movies are positioned as an origin story – the opening of Casino Royale shows him earning his 00 rating, and Quantum of Solace opens minutes after Casino Royale ends.
The movies themselves are confusing and inconsistent when it comes to continuity. A lot of people point out the tongue in cheek line early in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service when Lazenby’s Bond strikes out with a woman and he turns to the camera and says “that never happened to the other fellah” as evidence that James Bond, 007 is a codename that’s passed down- but ignore that later in the same movie after Bond quits MI5 he takes out a collection of keepsakes from prior missions – and as he lifts each one and reminisces the theme from the appropriate Sean Connery movie plays. Bond’s brief marriage to Tracy Drago and/or her death at the end of OHMSS are referenced repeatedly in later movies, most explicitly in The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, License to Kill and Goldeneye. For Your Eyes Only even has a gravestone for Tracy which puts her death as taking place in 1969.
Beyond all that, the Aston Martin from Goldfinger shows up in the Daniel Craig movie Skyfall, with the implication that Bond has kept it there since the events of Goldfinger. Given that Skyfall is meant to be some time after the earlier Craig-era movies and he’s slowing down, there’s at least a suggestion that Daniel Craig’s Bond is explicitly the same one who appeared in Goldfinger, but the events of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace took place before the Connery movies. Also, Judi Densch playing M against Brosnan’s Bond, describing him as a relic of the Cold War, while also being M when Craig’s Bond is promoted to 007 doesn’t scan properly.
At the end of the day, the James Bond franchise is gigantic and sprawling and has changed massively over the decades while hanging off of a framework that at least asks you to accept that the same man has been fighting the baddies for almost 60 years, while changing actor 6 times in that timeframe but probably being the same man all the time if you ignore all the times he pretty clearly changed. It’s not attempting to be Marvel or DC comics or even Doctor Who, and it falls apart under scrutiny even faster than the continuities of those larger projects do. But it doesn’t really matter, does it?
