Are all the frequencies of the Electromagnetic spectrum in a beam of light before being filtered by the Earth's ozone?

Beyond ROYGBIV though.. so like infrared rays, microwaves, xrays, etc

Not 'all' if you are being strictly accurate - but yes, there are quite a lot of x-ray, gamma and hard UV that is blocked by the atmosphere and on the long wavelength end a reasonable amount of IR, microwave and radio.
