Yes — retreat ignores terrain movement restrictions. A retreating unit may pass through woods, towns, hedgerows and wire, and doesn't have to stop there. The exceptions are terrain that is flat-out impassable (rivers without a bridge, ocean, impassable hills) and special retreat rules in a scenario.
