Definitely YES!!!

The Word 'ferrous' is from Latin and refers to 'iron' only. Remember the Latin name for iron is 'Ferrum' (Fe).

If any metal is referred to as 'ferrous', it means it is an alloy containing IRON.

Gold, of itself , is an elemental metal, thereby does NOT contain iron. Hence it is NON-ferrous.
