No, rather until the past becomes "history", i.e. when there are written sources. Afaik iron age is only the last stage (in Western Europe in any case) of prehistory. When the Romans conquered Gaul, prehistory (and along with it the iron age) ended, because from then on, the civilisation in that area had written sources. No matter how much iron was used by the Romans, they are part of 'history'. Purely technological you could say that iron age lasted, indeed, for centuries more, but that isn't the conventional use of the word.
