Yes, to varying degrees. And the graphic does show that (Mercury being the easiest example to see). You can also see a whole bunch of the smaller objects orbits crossing each other.
The distance from the sun of everything is also scaled (I think logarithmic ?), which can make things seem less elliptical.

Not to be pedantic, but any ellipse whose foci are coincident is a circle.
