Yes and no. The ruling that a sitting president cannot be impeached or indicted came not from any law, not from the Constitution, not from the Supreme Court or any court, but an internal office of the Justice Department. In other words, the ruling amounts to the Justice Department's lawyers saying, "If we try to prosecute or indict a sitting president, we think the Supreme Court might shoot this down, so let's not have our Justice Department even bother to try this". But that ruling was made decades ago, the Justice Department has different lawyers now who might decide differently. For instance, they might decide that in the Nixon and Clinton cases, national security was not involved, while in the Trump-Russia case, it is. Or they might decide to reverse the ruling for some other reason. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel is not a court, it's just an office there to decide how the Justice Department should best try to prosecute their cases.
So as long as the Justice Department decides to stick with its own internal directive, the Justice Department will not try to prosecute or indict the president. But the Justice Department is free to change their mind on this and go ahead. Whether the Supreme Court will allow them to prosecute or indict Trump is anybody's guess.
