Yes. ;)
There is some discussion elsewhere on having 5 LAN 1GB ports when using the 2.5GB port as the WAN port.
PS: See this discussion, including my post in it which shows having 5 x 1GB LAN ports on the RT-AX86U Pro:

This is awesome let me guess this is not even in the manual huh lol
 
It is not uncommon for routers that have more than one WAN port to allow the other port to be used as an 'extra' LAN port.
This has been around on many brands for many years.

BTW: It should read Four(4) 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports + one (1)
[That is 5 in total ... There are 4 x LAN ports + 1 x (1Gb) WAN/LAN port]
