yes and no
If you use a linux command line command like ls , you will see all the filenames, including the ones with spaces. This is legal and supported by bash, and the underlying filesystem.
You often need to escape, or quote strings with spaces, especially when used for filenames in commands and programming, but this does not make them less legal.
