The short answer, yes.

If iCloud Photo is turned on, on your iPhone, then your photos sync automatically with iCloud. If you have a photo on your iPhone and you delete it, then the syncing starts and the photo will also be removed from iCloud.

If you have deleted an image, you can restore it in the Recently Deleted folder.

If it is deleted from that folder as well, then the image is lost.
