Yes, but that's the desktop environment, not the window manager.  
According to wikipedia xfce does come with a default window manager 
(xfwm), but that doesn't mean you can't switch that one out for a 
different one, if desired.  While kde comes with kwin, for instance, a 
lot of people choose to use compiz with it instead.

For all I know, xfwm has configurable focus-stealing-prevention as well, 
tho I /don't/ know.  But to me that'd seem about as basic a feature as 
compositing, for a modern window manager.  I think kwin has had the 
feature since some time in the early to mid kde3 era, and wikipedia's 
"focus stealing" article says compiz and fvwm, at least, have focus 
stealing prevention.  (Unfortunately, the xfwm reference simply redirects 
to xfce itself, and while the xfce page mentions xfwm and that it's a 
compositing wm, that's about /all/ it says about xfwm, so I'm left 
without much clue in that regard.)
