Is it true that a rotating space station creates artificial gravity?
Yes. Multiple reference and textbook sources state that a rotating space station or spacecraft generates artificial gravity through centrifugal/centripetal effects, with the floor providing the perceived downward force. One source gives the full physical explanation; others confirm the principle in passing.
