Yes. GL may have been toying with the idea beforehand, of course- hard to know- but at the point he invented Vader, Anakin (then spelt Annikin, and surnamed Starkiller) was a completely seperate character in the story, who was eventually written out by the time the film was finished as already dead by Vader's hands.
Which gave GL a neat twist he could use for ESB- by not having used Anakin, he could make him and Vader the same person.

It could well be luck indeed that this happened. Actually, in the early drafts of the first film, Vader was far more like Maul- a dangerous thug who is killed off at the end.
Vader's graduation to greatest screen villain of all time kind of evolved over the years!
