Yes; in general, Grace M. Bolen's compositions which were published in 1928 or earlier (and beginning on January 1, 2025, in 1929) are in the public domain in the USA, and under the EU Rule of the Shorter Term, are also in the EU public domain in most countries.

This means that in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, they are still fully copyrighted?

Correct, since the composer died in 1974, the composer is still copyrighted in all Life + 70 countries.
