Is every federal law in the United States Code?

Yes, they are. With one MAJOR caveat, which is the intersection of the Legislative and Administrative branches of Government. This is where the US code, intersects with the Code of Federal Regulations, Administrative rulings, and Letters of Opinion.
The Tax code is probably the easiest to understand; in that the Federal Statutes are pretty simply to understand, but when you add just the Letters of Opinion -- you enter the Twilight Zone. This is because anyone can write a letter to an Administrative Agency and ask if their interpretation of a Statute, or Administrative Rule is permissible.
Basically, the application of a good majority of statutes are subjective rather than objective in nature.
