Are MTG creatures with changeling also artifact creatures?

Nope, creatures with changeling aren't automatically artifact creatures. Changeling is a keyword ability that means the creature has all creature types at all times. It's more about adapting to any and all creature types, like Elves, Goblins, Merfolk, you name it. But being an artifact creature is about the material the creature is made of in the lore of the game, not its type. So unless specifically stated otherwise on the card or affected by another card's ability, changelings don't count as artifact creatures straight out of the box.

Actually, it's a common misconception but changeling creatures aren't artifact creatures unless another effect makes them so. I once used a deck focused on artifact creatures with a few changelings and had to learn this the hard way in a tournament!
