Yep. http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#glossResource
[[
Resource (n.)(as used in RDF)(i) An  entity; anything in the universe.
(ii) As a class name: the class  of everything; the most inclusive
category possible.
]]
also http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#urisandlit and nearby

They're not literally "in" the RDF graph, of course. Rather, they're
described by the graph, when we interpret that graph as carry a set of
statements about a (or the) world.
