Yes. Two different flavors of them, in fact. Besides the object
graphics (which drove me to SC from HyperCard), the bitmapped graphics
retain movability, in contrast to expectations. The major difference
you're aware of is the different graphical tools in the palette. 

The delete-protection features are associated with the card, not
the graphics.
