I hope so!

But clearly Idril and he didn't quite make to Valinor for awhile, at least not before Ćärendil, and may have died as a result of their voyage, and gone to the Halls of Mandos together like Beren & Lúthien, but were given sort of the opposite choice, as part of the whole accomodations with all of the mixed-blood children. Consideration or being counted as a Noldor doesn't make much sense or have any meaning, unless it involved some significant assumption of their fate as opposed to that of Men.
