Yes, this is a plunge router. Note in particular the second photo,which shows the adjustable depth stop rod and the turret beneath it which allows progressively stepping the bit deeper in successive passes until it reaches the intended depth.
The fact that the base is attached via two smooth rods that guide the plunge also makes this fairly obvious.
