For the scheduled events, yes. Most ISS voice activity will be on the cross-band repeater, including random QSOs by ISS crewmembers. The repeater downlink is 437.800 MHz (+/- 10 kHz for Doppler - around 437.810 MHz at the start of a pass, ending around 437.790 MHz near the end), and the uplink is 145.990 MHz with 67.0 Hz tone.
I saw reports that an ISS crewmember was on the repeater this (Sunday, 12 October) morning before 11am PDT/1800 UTC. Crews have more free time on weekends, so you could hear a crewmember talking to hams some time...
73!
That's the correct frequency to hear amateur radio transmissions from the ISS.
I imagine that NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, etc., have other means of communicating with their assets on regular basis.

Many years ago (late 1990's?) there were ham repeaters that would 're-broadcast' ISS comms (might have been Space Lab back then). I don't know where they got the comms from but they would re-broadcast them on Ham repeater freqs. Apparently they don't do that anymore. THOSE were some interesting comms.

NASA public feeds. I don't remeber if it was from the internet or satellite back then. Now they have several internet streams.
