That depends on what you mean by 'the older generation that adopted the DS'. If you are refering to before they bought the handheld, then yes, of course they did. Hell I even thought the DS was a 'Gameboy' when it came out because it was a handheld console from Nintendo. If you're refering to now, years after they owned a DS or had children that owned one... then still partially yes. When people, in general(myself included and I'm 26), think of a handheld gaming console they're going to think of the name Gameboy. Gameboy is used as a term that refers to handheld consoles, not really a line of products, by the general population.
