Yes, but OpenGL API is used for graphics only. For example, you can display your game objects like squares or images. There are more things in games then graphics in games. You cannot create a window or create keyboard/mouse handlers using OpenGL. You need to use some library (or framework) for creating a window, for example (if you use C++): WinAPI (for Windows only), or cross-platform libraries: GLFW, FreeGLUT, SDL2, SFML, Qt and so on. You need to choose a library for creating a window and keyboard/mouse handlers.
You cannot play a background music and sounds using OpenGL. I like two free libraries for playing audio files:
I do not know how to create projects for smartphones with C++ and OpenGL. I study WebGL (JS/ES5 and TypeScript) for cross-platform development.

Practice with creating simple games everyday. You can start learning C++ here: http://noobtuts.com/cpp and you can start learing the development of simple clone games here: https://noobtuts.com/cpp/2d-pong-game
Do not forget that studying of Math is very important. Start here: Math for Game Developers
