Seems like it. The images posted seem to be a mix of old and new.
Since the defence minister personally gave the due date, I would think they'd have it commissioned soon enough.

Vikrant is even significantly smaller that Liaoning 45K loaded vs Liaoning 67.5K tons
Type 002 Shandong laid down in March 2015, launched April 2017, completed in April 2018 and commissioned in Dec 2019
Vikrant laid down in 2009, launched in 2013, completed (expected, big IF) June 2021
India says Vikrant will be commissioned in 2022 ... it depends what Indian term of commissioned means. The chance of this baby commissioned in 2022 (I mean operational) is less than of I win lotto next week

It will likely enter service around the time TEBDF is ready.
Vikrant itself is based on an Italian design.
Aviation facilities were indeed designed with Russian participation.
