Yes that is a head bolt you can see through the opening in the intake port.

well everyone else seems to think this is ok and maybe they've had good luck with this but in my experience it has been an issue./
on a set of wenzler heads i had there was one stud that was open into the intake port. i ran it that way for a while and it was fine, but after time oil worked its way into the hole and when i would get on it it would suck that oil into the port and smoke like crazy. i took the head off and had a sleeve put in the hole and the smoking stopped. mine was a bigger opening than your pic shows but i thought it was worth mentioning
