Yes, all starlink user terminals are phased arrays.

They have to be due to how rapidly the sats move in and out of view.

Also frequency re-use. They will talk on the same frequency to multiple ground terminals, but pointed different directions from the satellites perspective.

Did not know that, neat. Phased arrays are so cool.
