Yes, but while the default Ubuntu desktop in 17.10 is GNOME, it's
customized GNOME.

vanilla-gnome-desktop seems to be the package to install if you want the
upstream GNOME experience.

(I didn't know about the existence of this package before today.  I
think I had gnome-session installed, and I manually switched the GDM
theme to gnome-shell.css with sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
as per https://didrocks.fr/2017/09/11/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-11/)
