<p>Yes. Bitcoin Core is <strong>always</strong> a full node software and does not have any SPV components within it. Running any part of Bitcoin Core (bitcoind or bitcoin-qt) means that you are running a full node.</p>

You just have to check the port 8333 is accessible from the internet. The easiest way to do that is to go to https://bitnodes.earn.com/ and go down to the bottom where it says "Join The Network". There your IP address should be entered (enter it if it is not or if it is wrong) and click the Check Node button.
