Yes they are.
Generally 1-2 and 1-3 terms do not include VDW or electrostatics as these
effects are included in the bond and angle parameterisation. 1-4 VDW and
electrostatic interactions are generally scaled by 1.2. All other VDW and
electrostatic interactions, both intra molecular and inter molecular are
calculated without scaling as long as the distance between the atom pairs is
less than the nonbonded cutoff (default = 8 angstroms).
I hope this helps
All the best
