Yes it could have been, to be 100% safe delete the entire directory. Some I've heard have only been deleting install.php and upgrade.php but no official statement yet as to what causes the exploit only a vague announcement and very late email regarding such.

So long as you delete the entire directory as you noted, you won't be subject to the exploit within.

Please note: If at anytime in the future an issue arises such as your admin account messing up or issues with cookies and you need to use tools.php to reset any of it, you will need to re-upload the /install/ directory (do not re-upload install.php or upgrade.php) then run tools.php to sort the issue then promptly delete the entire directory once again. <-- This is only required in the event you need to run tools.php as it requires the install directory to be present.
