Yes. Water boils at a given temperature (depending on pressure) regardless of how it is measured. It is true that a Fahrenheit degree is not equal to a Celsius degree, but 212 °F is the same as 100 °C. They're the same temperature, the same amount of "hotness" or "heatedness" as each other.

Here's an experiment. Two pots of water are put on two adjacent burners of a stove and brought to a boil. Doesn't it make sense that the water in either pot is as hot as the water in the other? If the temperature of one pot is measured with a Fahrenheit thermometer, and the other with a thermometer that reads in degrees Centigrade, the temperatures are different, but that's because of the different scales of the thermometers. The water in one pot is just as hot as the water in the other.
