So is a dofollow link right?
Based upon that code most likely, though that doesn't take into account any other factors

Even seeing the page it would be impossible to say 100%, and even if you could perform some kind of test with weird anchor text that would be no guarantee that a link would continue to pass juice, or somehow might pass juice indirectly (e.g. Wikipedia scraper sites)
I personally do it like this. That is explicitly "return true" so there is no ambiguity.  
<a href="http://domain.com/page1/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/domain.com/');return True;"><b>Domain</b</a>

The short answer is yes.
