YES. Very much so.
By the time that Europeans arrived in the Americas, Europe was mostly depleted of the resources that they had vastly overused, such as lumber, fishes, precious metals, and iron. Additionally, the New World had numerous crops and goods that did not exist in Europe. Especially valuable were potatoes, tomatoes, and gourds, which led to population booms all throughout the Old World (not just Europe).
