Yes. The English equivalent is the town's municipal building.

PS Some foreign-born latinos I know use edificio municipal, and don't know
the term ayuntamiento

Without context I would guess that it's to distinguish from the ayuntamiento of the nearby city.

In Spain, all towns with more that one hundred inhabitants have "Ayuntamiento".

Usually, a "ciudad" is bigger than a "pueblo" and the last one is rural. Sometimes the boundaries between a "ciudad" and a "pueblo are not clear.

I said what I said (popeye anyone?) because there shouldn't be a difference between an small town city hall with that of a big city. Unfortunately in real life there is...

How shall I put it...
