IMHO Yes.

=46rom 7.1.2 [dcl.fct.spec] paragraph 3:
"A function defined within a class definition is an inline function."
There is no restriction to _member_ functions here.

Also even more explicitly from 11.4 [class.friend] p.5 (irrelevant parts =
snipped):
"A function can be defined in a friend declaration of a class ... Such a
function is implicitly inline."

Member functions defined in the class are inline, even if they lack the
'inline' keyword.  Are friend functions defined in the class inline too,
though they lack the keyword?

struct X {
   X() { } // is inline
   friend X operator+(X x) { return x; } // is this inline?
};

Yes, they are implicitly inline. See 11.4 para 5 in the standard.
