That does depend on your interpretation of quantum mechanics: the wave-function is still entirely deterministic. Non-determinism is only induced by 'collapse', but it's not mandatory for this to ever happen: the many-worlds interpretation is basically the result of saying it doesn't, and is completely deterministic. (In fact 'collapse' interpretations are not particularly popular theoretically, because it's actually a blurry line of decoherance: it's just generally convenient for interpreting the outcome of a calculation, and you can assume it's a close enough approximation to experiment once your system has interacted with your detectors).
