Yes, for the same reason as over a field: if you interpret matrices as endomorphisms of vector spaces, then left/right invertibility corresponds to surjectivity or injectivity, and over division rings an injective/surjective linear map between finite dimensional spaces of the same dimension is an isomorphism (because there is a well-behaved theory of dimension).
