Yes. See "Effects of Stun" on p. 420 of the Basic Set.
I wouldn't use an initiative roll in the case described in the OP. If there would have been total surprise, but a character has combat reflexes, p. 393 of Characters says they "never freeze, and treat total surprise as partial surprise". I read that not as requiring an initiative roll, so that the defenders could potentially surprise the attacker, but that they get to skip the 1d6 'freeze' and go straight to rolling to become unstunned on their first turn.
