Yes, for the most part. But you can have a pharmacy in a store that isn't just a drug store. For example in the Walmart stores there is a pharmacy. Sometimes even in grocery stores they have them. So it would depend.

It can be a regional difference as well. For example, in the area around New York City, it is almost always "drugstore" and not "pharmacy", no matter what register you're speaking in.
