Yes, and I think you can add http://example.com/index.htm to that list, too.

If, and only if, the server is configured that way, index.html and/or
index.htm are possible. And usually any other "default page" (correct:
"index document" or "directory index") is possible, too. For example,
on my Apache HTTP server I use
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var index.htm
Web-authoring basics, really.

a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web,
when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another
computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee

Always adding the 'www.'-prefix is safer. I remember a tough debug
session on Apache where the aliasing from example.com to www.example.com
was not present in httpd.conf by default.
