At least looking at Y Chromosome haplogroups it seems that way. R1b1c* which is overwhelmingly majoritary in Western Europe is of Upper Paleolithic origin according to most scientists, therefore it wasn't brought by any IE speakers.
Kurgan theory supporters relate IE groups with R1a1, which is found at very low rates in Western Europe, being only significant in The Netherlands (~12%).
