Yes, under FIDE rules, this is a black win since the rule states :
Fide Laws of Chess - Rule 6.9 "Except where one of the Articles: 5.1.a, 5.1.b, 5.2.a, 5.2.b, 5.2.c applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player. However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves."
USCF rules are different, and under USCF rules, this game is drawn. But good luck trying to find USCF rules online - USCF wants you to buy their rule book online.
I do not know the USCF rules but it is a win for black even if black need to be able to get a forced mate in 4 by a possible series of legal moves because you can get the following position by a series of legal moves.
