Yes. This was established previously in Captain America: Civil War for two reasons:

1: To have him fit the theme in Civil War about losing fathers. T'Challa, Zemo, and Tony all lost their fathers too which influences their decisions in the movie.

2: I agree with Kevin Feige's sentiment that Peter Parker having his parents be top secret S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent spies kind of distracts from him just being a normal kid from New York. Which is one of my favorite parts of the character.
