Yep. Not sure myself whether the .44 mag had been developed by the time Dirty Harry was being made, though.

IIRC, Dirty Harry started with a .357 before the .44 came on the market, but upgraded shortly thereafter. Making ol' Clint the Xrlq of his day, so to speak.
You're quoting a bad source. In a later movie he switched from the ".44 Magnum", a revolver, to the "Automag"; but the original was a .44, not a .357.

Here's another source:
