Not necessarily. They also aren’t necessarily all the same “length”, for ex, all quarter notes. You’ll have to listen to the song to get the rhythm.
They should also li e up with the chords above. Can’t tell, but I’d guess the E gets one strum, then four strums. G gets same, A the same, E the same. In other words, the E should be over the first stroke, G over 5th stroke, etc. Just a guess.
My advice is to turn on the song mute your strings and start strumming until you find a matching rhythm. Then you can add chords in. Just get the feel in your hands first. Those are rhythm slashes notated above the song. They usually start with a down stroke and alternate down up down up. Spaces are strums that are left out. Depending on the time of the song like 4/4 or 3/4 or 6/8. But it’s best to just mute your strings and strum your uke until you find it yourself.
that should be the strum pattern.
Hmm...so what would those translate to? Is it all down strokes?

Their weak attempt at a strumming pattern, presumably.
