Yes.

But you have to install the Debugging Tools for Windows by yourself, and 
you should be aware of the fact that the cdb integration is lagging behind
gdb in terms of features and general usability.

If you use MinGW, gdb will be used, if you use MSVC, you need to use cdb.
So basically your selection of tool chain also selects the debugging 
environment.

cdb support has not been removed, and there is no intention to do so.
I also see no indication to the contrary on more recent pages like 

  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/creator-debugging.html .
