Yes!  There's no indication that the Weasley's live in a common 
Muggle neighborhood -- in fact, it appears they live out in the 
country, from the description of their walk to Stoatshead Hill in 
GoF.  Also, Hermione seemed to find it easily enough, Amos Diggory 
appears in the fire, Arthur gets messages from all over the place, 
and finally Arthur tells Amos Diggory where he lives!  

All in all, this is hardly the behavior of someone hidden by the 
Fidelius Charm.  Factor that in with the idea that there is no reason 
we can possibly entertain that would explain *why* they Weasleys 
would have done such a complicated charm when there is no threat to 
them (that we know of) and I'd say yes: you are horribly mistaken!  :-
