You mean Yes, don't you. FYI, this is what the different editions of
the Standard say :-


  2nd Edition :
"8 Types
A value is an entity that takes on one of nine types. There are nine
types (Undefined, Null, Boolean, String, Number, Object, Reference,
List, and Completion). Values of type Reference, List, and Completion
are  used only as intermediate results of expression evaluation and
cannot be stored to properties of objects."


  3re Edition : <same as 2nd>


  5th Edition :
"8 Types
An ECMAScript language type corresponds to values that are directly
manipulated by an ECMAScript programmer using the ECMAScript language.
The ECMAScript language types are Undefined, Null, Boolean, String,
Number, and Object."


  5.1th Edition : <same as 5th>


  6th Edition :
"6.1 ECMAScript Language Types
An ECMAScript language type corresponds to values that are directly
manipulated by an ECMAScript programmer using the ECMAScript language.
The ECMAScript language types are Undefined, Null, Boolean, String,
Symbol, Number, and Object. An ECMAScript language value is a value
that is characterized by an ECMAScript language type."


  7th, 8th, 9th, 10th Edition : <same as 6th>


And finally, from the current edition :-

"2 Conformance
A conforming implementation of ECMAScript must provide and support all
the types, values, objects, properties, functions, and program syntax
and semantics described in this specification."
