Is it true that Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti?

Yes. A peer-reviewed source states scholars agree Machu Picchu was a private royal estate of the emperor Pachacuti built around the mid-fifteenth century, and a reference article likewise dates it to about 1450 as Pachacuti's estate. Other sources confirm it was a 15th-century Inca royal estate but do not name Pachacuti.
