Yes, it's correct, in spoken language, a -b at the end sounds pretty much like a -p, and a -d sounds pretty much like a -t. In fact, one of the most valuable pieces of advice to me in order to sound more "English" when speaking English was that native speakers in that language do specifically not do that, as opposed to us.
If you ever listen to professional speakers, they may make sure to pronounce these sounds specifically as they're written, though.
