No. That is ejecting(unmounting) the .dmg file

Most Macs download files to the download folder although one can change it to
the desktop, or any other location.

The default on Macs put the .dmg in the download folder. There is no icon on
the desktop. There are a couple of ways to eject it in Finder.

Dragging the .dmg to Trash DOES NOT eject it.
