Sure, data consistency is guaranteed, no matter if you apply all of the archived redo logs or only until certain redo file or even if you stop somwhere in the middle of the particular redo file (point-in-time recovery).

All commited transactions from the recovered portion of the redo log files are written to the database and all the transactions that were not commited at the time when recovery process stopped are automaticaly rolled back immediately after roll-forward process is ended.
