Yes it is.

 From the spec (http://dlang.org/declaration.html)

-- Implicit Type Inference --
If a declaration starts with a StorageClass and has a 
NonVoidInitializer from which the type can be inferred, the type 
on the declaration can be omitted.

The first example is even:
static x = 3;

Any storage class will do. No need for auto. It's not documented 
as needed, it's not implied to be needed, and it isn't needed.
