Yes. if your modem's address is 192.168.1.1, then it is really a gateway (modem+router combined).

If it only has one LAN port then it could have a passthrough mode which would make port forwarding easier. If you have two routers back-to-back then you need to configure port forwarding in both (or alternatively put the "back end" router in the DMZ of the first).
I have this same constraint - my ISP (Verizon) requires that I use their modem in order to get TV services (channel guides, video on demand, etc), and also has an internal IP address of 192.168.1.1. My "real" router is behind that (a netgear R6300) Everything works ok, but I need to be careful when port forwarding.
