Milankovitch Cycles, the Last Glacial Period, and Why Earth Is Still in an Ice Age
The Holocene has been relatively stable and warm by glacial-cycle standards, which is one reason human civilization developed during it.
Orbital (Milankovitch) forcing would eventually lead toward the next glacial period over tens of thousands of years in the absence of other influences, but elevated greenhouse-gas levels are expected to delay that transition significantly.
In short: yes — today’s climate is interglacial.
