Welcome to the forum.

If the rivets have never been drilled out, then yes the rears are riveted to the hubs. If they are still riveted, be sure to mark the rotor location wrt hub because the rotors are turned after riveted to the hub when the car was built. If you put them back on differently, there will probably be excessive runout which will pump the caliper pistons and will suck air into the caliper and then you'll be w/o brakes.
