Well, yes. That is the whole point. Many are called 'sons of God' in the Bible - made (like Adam [Luke 3:38]), adopted (King David) or proclaimed(all the peacemakers [Matt 5:9]). The creed says 'only-begotten' or 'unique' to assert that Jesus of Nazareth was the incarnation of the only Person to actually be the Son of God in a truly literal sense.
We can't be certain, though, that the writers of the Hebrew Bible (OT) shared this view, since they did not write down a lot of detail about what they thought of cosmology. The best description is probably Job 38:4-7, which reads: "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? ... When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted with joy?" (Parallel poetry here, hence morning stars = sons of God.)
If "In the beginning God created heaven and earth", then presumably the 'morning stars' were made along with the heavens since they were around to cheer at the making of the earth, and somehow involved with the making of humans in Gen 1:26 "And God said, 'Let is make humans in our image...'".
