Are joint and muscle pain signs of lupus?

Yes, they can be. They could also be signs of numerous other things. Only your physician can diagnose lupus or any other joint related disease.
Yes. Could be Gout or Chronic Fatigue Or a Virus.
No not necessarily, I am currently in the same situation and I have beend told that I have "mixed connective disease", in other words they are not sure what is causing my joint and muscle pain. I have taken the tests for lupus. rheumatoid arthritis, and so many other immune diseases. I am currently looking for a doctor to help me in find my diagnosis.
Yes. 90-95% of lupus patients will experience joint pain and/or swelling during the course of the disease. Muscle pain is also a common symptom.

However, many other disorders have the same or similar symptoms. An experienced rheumatologist is needed to diagnose lupus, since there is no single definintive laboratory test to diagnose it.
