In short: yes. How exactly depends on how you register the domain name. If you do it directly at the NIC for the TLD (i.e. directly at the entity that manages domain names for a certain top level like .com), you have full control over the domain name. If you switch hosts, all you need to do is point the DNS entries for the domain to the nameservers of your new host.

If you register the domain through your hosting provider, you will have varying direct control over the domain itself, but it still is ultimately yours. You can go through a domain transfer procedure in which your hosting provider will transfer the control of the domain name to another hosting provider.
