Is this turbo lag?

I was bored today, and nobody was around, so i figured i would floor it off of a stop light. As i shifted through the gears, the engine would kinda hesitate till about 1500rpms, then it would kick me back in the seat and really take off. Is this turbo lag?

Yup. That's it. With an auto you only feel it in first gear from a stop. After that it's full boost till you let off.
