It certainly looks like it. Typing the coordinates into https://www.aavso.org/apps/vsp/ produces a nice finder chart. It was found while investigating the X-ray transient MAXI_J1820+070 fpr which it is an AAVSO comparison star labeled “120”. The field is crowded which has led to issues with photometry too.
Thanks and good luck!
