Yes. The only argument historians are having (between themselves) is did the war end when Japan accepted the surrender terms (on August 15, 1945), or does it officially end when they signed the instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945? It might be wiser to accept the formal surrender on 02 September 1945; for the SIMPLE reason, many Japanese fighting men (Sailors, Marines, Pilots, Soldiers, etc.) may NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE WORD during August 15 thru August 31st.
Not directly. Germany signed an unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945. This effectively ended the war in Europe.

Japan formally surrendered Sept 2, 1945 on the deck of the battleship Missouri.
