Yes, People who were born/ reside in Wales are termed Welsh. However, a colloquial term was coined: North/South Walians. These are mainly used to define the divide between Southerners and Northerners.

They are known as Welsh. A popular term that is used as a term of abuse that is intended to deride the Welsh is to use the word as slang for being dishonest, deceitful and lying, but this is not in fact the real generic origin of the word. The term 'to Welsh on someone' applied originally not as a slight against the Welsh people but referred to the surname of a dishonest racecourse book-keeper called John Welsh, who was a notorious fraud and swindler. But nowadays few people know that, and it is usually used as a racist term deliberately designed to insult the Welsh people.
