Well sort of.
Flash still doesn't exist for iOS (iPhone/iTouch OS).
What Apple banned was development tools that didn't code directly to the iPhone OS. A lot of quickly knocked off apps/games used a Flash -> iPhone app converter, they banned that.
Apple's concern was if they added some new hardware or software feature into their phone, these tools may be updated quickly enough to encourage developers to use these new features. Also these tools could also be used to develop apps for both iPhone and Android.
Obviously Apple got enough bad press, upset app store developers and the US government looking into them that blinked.
