Yes, dream images have nothing to do with your physical eyes. Your eyes are simply the conduit for raw visual information from the environment. What comes through your eyes is upside down, full of holes, and lacks any 'motion'. Only your brain fills in the holes, flips the image, and creates the sensation of motion when you see things. So everything you see in a dream is purely generated by your brain.
As for blind people dreaming with visual imagery, that would probably depend on whether they were blind from birth. If they were, they probably would not. It's like dreaming about an extra sense that humans don't possess (or thinking about another color that we can't see). But blind people who were once sighted most likely dream visually (as long as their visual cortex isn't damaged, I guess).
