I don't know, but I'm inclined to think not.

Genesis 6:3 says God's spirit will not remain with man forever, which to me indicates that until then it had. Genesis 5:2 indicates how God blessed man. To what extent was that blessing removed? Well certainly not enough that God stopped interacting with people altogether.

And when people believed the Lord, it was credited to them as righteousness. Certainly was the case with Noah, and with Abraham (Genesis 15:6)

And when Abraham pleads with the Lord for Sodom and Gamorrah, they are discussing how many righteous people are there. So clearly some people were righteous, and were therefore very likely not condemmed to hell.
