Yes. display: none removes it from the DOM to hide it. That includes the parent and any children. Visibility:hidden can malfunction on a parent element if visibility:visible is set on any children. This may be what you were thinking of.
Just fyi, if you set display:none on a nav menu, screen readers will not see your links.
