Yes, the permanent dipole-dipole forces in water are the hydrogen bonding forces.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a special case of dipole-dipole attractions.

It's just that these attractions are so much stronger than other dipole-dipole attractions that they get their own name: hydrogen bonds.
