Yes, the default username is "ubuntu" and password is "ubuntu". As others have noted you need to wait a couple of minutes after boot as the user does not exist by default; the cloud-init process is responsible for setting up the default user and does so after the first boot has finished. Due to the (obviously) insecure nature of the default password, it's pre-expired and you'll need to change it on first login.
If you prefer to set up the initial user and password yourself (customizing cloud-init's configuration) there's some instructions
in this post.
