Yep. There's a variety of modelling applications used in making IKEA products for the catalogue. 3dsmax is one of the most widely used, but depends on the companies subcontracting to produce the stuff. Mostly Vray is used for rendering, because it gives the best speed to quality ratio, but others are used too, like Maxwell and MentalRay.
You can download IKEA models all over 3D warehouse, for example. Here's some on Polantis:
I personally must have modelled at least two dozen IKEA products over the years. Most of them I did when I was working with 3dsmax. I've done a couple models even after we switched to C4D though.
