Not exactly.  An autocoordinator moves the rudder to counteract slip
angle.  A yaw damper moves the rudder to counteract yaw rate, which is
the time derivative of slip angle.  An aircraft can be held in a slip
and a yaw damper won't care, for example.  It is even conceivable that
an aircraft in a very tight turn (think of an RC plane) could be in
coordinated flight but have a non-negligible yaw rate.
