Quick answer: Yes, Aloe vera can flower. It produces clusters of tubular flowers on an upright stalk. Flowering is much less common indoors than outdoors.
What do the flowers look like?
GardeningSG describes golden-yellow flowers in a cluster. Different aloe species can have different flower colours and shapes, so a photograph of an unidentified aloe is not proof that it is Aloe vera.
Why has my indoor aloe not flowered?
University of Florida guidance notes that indoor aloe plants rarely bloom. An otherwise growing plant should not be judged solely by whether it flowers. Start by checking light, drainage and watering rather than adding extra fertiliser to force a bloom.
Growing conditions
Provide a bright position and well-drained potting medium. Let the soil dry between waterings. If moving an indoor plant outside, increase its light exposure gradually to reduce sunburn. Flowering dates vary with climate; a calendar month from another region is not a reliable deadline.
