Are RMDs taken out inm February 2018 based on IRAs from 2017 declared as income in the 2018 tax year which we are currently filling out?

Yes that is true.  You will get a 1099R for it.  Was that your first RMD?  When did you turn 70 1/2?  Your first RMD can be delayed until April of the next year.  So if that was for your 2017 RMD you also needed to take the 2018 by Dec 31, 2018.
