Yes. The client uses what's called "remote attestation" to verify its talking to, not just official servers, but official server code published on github. Read more about it here: https://signal.org/blog/building-faster-oram/
To put it simply, they're using the same technology that allows DRM protected videos to play back on your computer/phone/tablet, but against their own servers, to ensure its not a rogue host or code.
