No, first version with "NPM support" (see my other comment as why I don't consider it being "supported") was gitlab 11.7, end of january 2019. I was really looking forward to this and were following your verdaccio (an open source npm registry) thread closely. Development then made a 180 and chose to re-implement rudimentary support for npm on top of your current package abstraction instead.

Oops, you're correct that 11.7 was the first release, sorry for messing up the timeline.
